Current State (before this commit): Studio, as of today doesn't have a way to restrict a user to create a course in a particular organization. What Studio provides right now is a CourseCreator permission which gives an Admin the power to grant a user the permission to create a course. For example: If the Admin has given a user Spiderman the permission to create courses, Spiderman can now create courses in any organization i.e Marvel as well as DC. There is no way to restrict Spiderman from creating courses under DC. Purpose of this commit: The changes done here gives Admin the ability to restrict a user on an Organization level from creating courses via the Course Creators section of the Studio Django administration panel. For example: Now, the Admin can give the user Spiderman the privilege of creating courses only under Marvel organization. The moment Spiderman tries to create a course under some other organization(i.e DC), Studio will show an error message. This change is available to all Studio instances that enable the FEATURES['ENABLE_CREATOR_GROUP'] flag. Regardless of the flag, it will not affect any instances that choose not to use it. BB-3622
Status: Maintenance Responsibilities ================ The Student app supplements Django's default user information with student-specific information like User Profiles and Enrollments. This has made it a catch all place for a lot of functionality that we want to move into more dedicated places. For instance, while the CourseEnrollment models remain in this app for now, most Enrollment related functionality has already moved to the Enrollment app. If you are thinking of adding something here, strongly consider adding a new Django app instead. If you are extending something here, please consider extracting it into a separate app. Intended responsibility: Student dashboard functionality. Glossary ======== More Documentation ================== Plugins ------- Plugin Context view names (see ADR 0003-plugin-contexts.rst): * "course_dashboard" -> student.views.dashboard.student_dashboard
