[LON-CAPA-users] Anyone planning to attend the Visualization in Science Gordon Conference in July? A couple of questions about demonstrations.

Hi Robley,

No. 

Once a user has logged in an has selected a role, then all the normal
access controls kick in and the 'public' aspect is ignored.

> Alternatively I could put a URL in a DOCs page that opens up another web

No becuase any access to the server will send the cookie which
identifies who they are what course they are in etc..

> Actually, I guess the link itself would lead to opening a new page with the

some people prefer to use the back button some people prefer to use a
new window.
