Security Functions

Mneme is secured using three permission string:

mneme.submit

mneme.manage

mneme.grade

mneme-submit is the permission that allows an end-user to make submissions to assessments. This is given to the access / student roles. In the default Sakai authzGroup templates, this permission should be given to "access" and "Student'

mneme-manage is the permission that allows the end-user to create, edit, and otherwise manage the authoring and publishing artifacts; questions, pools and assessments. This is given to the maintain / Instructor roles. In the default Sakai templates, this permission should be given to the "maintain" and "Instructor" roles, and possibly to the "Teaching Assistant" role.

mnene.grade is the permission that allows the end-user to grade submissions. This should also be given to the maintain / Instructor roles, along with mneme-manage.

Notes:

Do not give the maintain roles mneme-submit. End-users in these roles will be able to test-drive assessments without this permission. Also, it is probably best to give mneme.manage and mneme.grade together; this is how we have been testing.

Sakai will *not* have these permissions in the authzGroup templates; you have to add them. You can do that manually, or using the Mneme Admin tool. See the configuration section in the "Download Mneme" section for more details.
