Rights in a room
Central to Fronter is the awarding of rights. For students/pupils and teachers there are 4 relevant levels:
- read
- write
- delete
- own
In some rooms where students only come to collect information, they are awarded reading rights. Students are not able to make any changes in these rooms; adding documents (upload) or deleting anything that exist there.
In a group room/subject room it is as a rule desirable to have student participation so there they are awarded writing rights. Students are then able to add documents and they can delete their own contributions. However, they are not able to delete what other students have added into the room.
The students can also get even higher rights - delete. Then they can add documents and in addition delete their own and other peoples' documents. This is normally a right that the teacher is awarded in a room.
The highest level is owner. These rights it is natural to award the teacher in each room he/she is to administer. Room owner can change the look of the room, the tool package as well as changing the list of members. This list shows who has access to the room and which rights they have got.
It can be natural for several teachers to co-operate in a subject and these can be awarded different rights to the students - room owner controls this.
