[LON-CAPA-admin] Author question

[Ray Batchelor]

Nope, that's not right either... but I've seen this phenom somewhere 
recently...  

Anyway, a course coordinator role can access CSTR for accounts in which he has 
author or co-author roles, provided he is logged in on the library server on 
which the author account is maintained.

But, you say the error occurs when you enter your course (by that I think you 
mean having selected an instructor role?)   On the other hand, if you 
actually mean that you selected an author or co-author role, then the above 
statement probably applies.  i.e. you can't access CSTR unless you are on the 
library server.

Oh well maybe something in there will trigger the solution.

:-)


"Hrrrm..."
