Introduction

Problem Statement

Request account function is currently not working properly. A new user who tries to request an expertiza account can do so, but the instructor can see yet has no power to approve any request. The approval process is currently done manually, which is cumbersome. Our mission is to fix the request account functionality so that whoever requests for a new accounts can be approved by instructor clicking a button, and secondly, optimize the functionality to improve user experience.

Task Specifications and Plan

1. Add institution <br\> -A registering user should be able to choose their institution from a drop-down menu, but they should also be able to add an institution if they couldn't find one. <br\>

-The new institution should be saved as a new record into the institution table<br\>

-New account request should be saved to requested_users table with correct institution id.<br\>

2.superadmin, admin should be able to approve/decline requests<br\>

-add a new drop-down item under “Administration > Show…” so requests can be visually displayed and handled<br\> -enable the "approve" function for admin and superadmin<br\>

-make clickable user email address so a conversation is possible<br\>

-an email should be sent when a request is approved or declined<br\>

-all record should be kept on the page even it has been handled<br\>

Test Plan

Both manual and RSpec test will be performed on the following items.

1. a proper error message for improper information filled in, such as wrong email address format or existing account.

2. When a pending account gets approved or rejected, an email will be sent to the submitted email address.

3. A new item "show" should be added under administration and direct instructor to pending requests page when clicked

4. pending requests will have an email column that is clickable which allows instructor to send emails to applicants before a decision is made.

5. when a request is processed, its record is still kept with the status of processed.
