Roles and Rights Concept

The backend administrator (of Typo3) can configure meta data groups. Within these groups all settings of a certain educational level are grouped.

There are two levels of rights:

Provider-admin: does the basic configuration and customization (e.g. adds data related to educational level and school type

Editor: is part of a meta data group that works on specific competence grids and has the following privileges:

  • adding/editing/deleting grids
  • adding/editing/deleting competence fields
  • adding/editing/deleting competences
  • adding/editing/deleting subcompetences
  • adding/editing/deleting material/indicators/evidence

Settings

In the sysfolder FE groups the provider-admins are added, general settings are made and shares are managed.

On the Moodle-side there is a new link for the administrator in the exacomp-block to keep import up-to-date. By clicking on the link the data from comet is imported to Moodle. This can also be configured as a cron job.
