[LON-CAPA-admin] Multiple Domain Coordinator Accounts - Potential Issues?

[Lucas, Richard]

We have used the add_domain_coordinator_privilege.pl to give the domain coordinator privilege and seems to work great. However, when attempting to remove the domain coordinator privilege from an account with the expire_DC_role.pl script I'm getting an error:

perl loncom/build/expire_DC_role.pl dc_purdue2:purdue purdue
Language: English (en). Change? [ar|de|en|es|fa|fr|he|ja|pt|ru|tr|zh]? 
Undefined subroutine &main::mt called at loncom/build/expire_DC_role.pl line 114.

Any suggestions here?


Thanks,
Richard

There is nothing special about a domain coordinator account outside that it has the domain coordinator role.  We have two regular accounts at ohiou that have DC privileges.

That said, you certainly need to think carefully about accounts that are created with DC privileges - What accounts and how many. I don't think there are any known issues beyond simply keeping two accounts secure when creating DC privileged accounts.

Stuart or Gerd should probably chime in with a more definitive answer.

With plans to scale up the system, we really need more than one account with these privileges. We use the account for setting up course information because the Domain Coordinator can see all of the courses, and we have more than one person completing this setup.
