CSNS2 Security Implementation

Department

Requirements

• System admin can create departments.
• Department admin can edit their own department such as changing logo, theme, and adding/removing faculty, instructors, and courses.

In theory department name abbreviation (e.g. cs) should not be changed once a department is created because doing so may break department role check. Right now it can be changed by System Admin.

Implementation

• /admin/** requires sysadmin.
• DepartmentDao.saveDepartment() requires system or department admin.
• The following controller methods require department admin:
  • DepartmentUserController.operation()
  • DepartmentCourseController.operation()

User

Requirements

• General user management operations like add, edit, disable require sysadmin, department admin, or department faculty.
• Users can edit their own account profile.
• Temporary user accounts may be created during roster/grade import.

Implementation

• /user/** requires sysadmin, department admin, or department faculty.
• /profile requires authenticated users.
• /register requires authenticated users with temporary accounts.
