Week of March 31st

We had another integration meeting this Monday to discuss the changes to our system. The two biggest changes are the removal of the coordinator and chair user roles and the addition of whitelists as a method for allowing users to join a meeting or lecture. Before the changes, we had created several user roles in an attempt to distribute the work of creating and managing user accounts. Chairs would create Coordinator accounts, Coordinators would create Professor accounts, and so on. Now we have a much more simplified hierarchy with the Admin accounts having the ability to create every other type of user. The other major change was moving from a password-oriented meeting/lecture access system to a whitelist one. Every meeting/lecture will have a whitelist of usernames that are able to join said meeting/lecture. The calendar view upon logging in will now display all meetings/lectures that the user has been whitelisted for. These changes required the database and sitemap to be changed accordingly. I’ve been working on those and should have them done by Monday.
