ACL feature

[mcanini]

I'd like to be able to specify which users are allowed to view and submit tasks for my course.
Ideally, I would like to do it by dropping a CSV file into my course git repository. The format of the CSV file is the one I download from the faculty.

This is the file format:
(Skip the first line, e.g. "LINGI2347 en 2014")
Pgrm,Num fac,Nom,Prénom,Noma,Mail,...

The # of columns can vary but the above ones are fixed.

I think from Noma and email address you can recognize a valid UCL / INGI username.

Thanks for implementing this!

+:100:! This would be a most useful feature.

If I understood well, this is difficult because authentication is based on logins, which is the only column not provided by the csv ?

[mcanini]

I don't think it is difficult. But you need to have a way to figure out the correct mapping using an authoritative source.

The verification by NOMA will not be possible directly:

• INGInious uses LDAP to check user credentials; however, the NOMA does not seem to be stored on the INGI LDAP server, and the UCL one does not give the information too.
• NOMA is a "UCL-only" feature; we try to keep INGInious agnostic and filtering by NOMA would break this.

However, it seems possible to filter:

• by login
• by email
  Easily :-)

This will be available soon on our instance of INGInious in INGI.
