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

[Lucas, Richard]

I was able to use the expire script on a user we had just gave the domain coordinator privilege to. It still says they are a domain coordinator in the GUI, but when they login they don't actually have that role. Is there a way to delete the account all together?

Thanks,
Richard

Thanks, the upgrade to 2.11.0 is on the list for us to do. We'll be upgrading our non-prod instance next week where I am testing this. I grabbed the newer version and now am getting this:

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]? 
**** ERROR **** dc_purdue2:purdue is not a LON-CAPA user for which this is the homeserver.

It appears to not think the user exists even though they appear in they show up when searching for users in the GUI. It looks like it's searching for their directory and they don't have one.

Hi,

There was a bug in the version of this script (rev. 1.2) included with LON-CAPA 2.10.1, which is fixed in 2.11.0 (released June 2014) which included rev. 1.5 of expire_DC_role.pl.

As loncapa.purdue.edu is running 2.10.1, you should get version 1.3 of expire_DC_role.pl from the LON-CAPA CVS repository, and use that.

wget -O expire_DC_role.pl
http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/loncom/build/expire_DC_role.pl?rev=1.3;content-type=text/plain'
