esource in Construction Space for <br>which you are author or co-auth=
or) to be displayed the following <br>condition must be met:<br><br>Y=
our current LON-CAPA session must be hosted on the home library <br>s=
erver for the author of the resource.<br><br>In your case your session was =
on an access server (a2.educog.com) so <br>the "Edit" item was not di=
splayed. This is also why the "select" <br>button in your roles=
screen for the author role is replaced with a <br>switch server link=
.<br><br>When you login to monroe.loncapa.net the log-in page for the educo=
g <br>library server will be displayed. However, if the current=
"User Load" <br>is 100% on that server, after successful authenticat=
ion your session <br>will be offloaded to one of the educog access se=
rvers. The User Load <br>is displayed on a server's log-in page=
.<br><br>If you are offloaded, and you know you will most likely want to ed=
it a <br>resource, you could use switch server from the roles screen =
to switch <br>over to the library server when you first log-in.  =
;Once the session is <br>switched to educog.com you could then return=
to the roles screen and <br>select the CC role for the course you wi=
sh to work in. Thereafter for <br>that session the "Edit" link =
would be available in the inline menu for <br>resources in the course=
for which you are author/co-author. Of <br>course this does f=
urther load the server reporting 100% load, but <br>authors/co-author=
s are only a small fraction of the LON-CAPA users in <br>the educog d=
omain.<br><br>A future change in LON-CAPA that could be considered would be=
to <br>convert the "Edit" link to point at switchserver instead of d=
irectly <br>at the resource in cases where the user's session is not =
on the home <br>server of the resource author.<br><br>Stuart Raeburn<=

there aren't other roles really <br>> available (other than author=
) and I am the only publisher. I have <br>> logged out, logged bac=

it has been happening now for a week or more.<br>><br>> I don't know=
how to tell if the course and author space are on the <br>> same =
server. I log into my domain (monroe).<br>><br>> When I get to =
the problem (as CC), the url is something like <br>> <a href=3D"ht=
