==Problem Statement==
# When a super-admin logs in to the system and clicks on "Administrator ->Show" a list of super-admins, admins and instructors is displayed. At the bottom of the list there is a feature to add a new administrator, but it is broken. This feature has to be fixed.
# In expertiza there is a table for institutions, but the users are not associated with the institution. A drop down has to be added to the view of creating users. So that a new account creator can select the institution from the drop      down.

Introduction to Expertiza

Expertiza is a web application where students can submit and peer-review learning objects (articles, code, web sites, etc). It is used in select courses at NC State and by professors at several other colleges and universities.


Project Description

Part A

Files Involved: admin_controller and views in app/views/admin folder What it does: Defines the changes that can be done on other types of user by super-admin and provides the view accordingly. Those functionalities can be found from UI when super-admin logs in and clicks on "Administration -> Show". Then they can see a list of super-admin, admin and instructors based on the selection. At the bottom of the list there is a feature to add new administrators, but it is broken.

What is wrong with it: The adding new admin functionality is broken and has to be fixed in a clean way. It should have the same view as that of user creation page.

What needs to be done:

  • Remove the text filed for adding new super-admin/admin/instructor and leave only the button on the UI
  • When the button is clicked, redirect it to the new user creation view, and make the role (super-admin/admin/instructor) selected as default.
  • Make sure that new user creation works for super-admin/admin/instructor. Write a test case to test it.

Part B

Files involved: users_controller.

What’s wrong with it: In expertiza there is an institution table. But it does not associate the users with institutions.

What needs to be done:

  • Do a db migration, create a “institution_id” column in users table.
  • Add a drop down to the view for creating users. The new account creator can select the institution from that drop down.
  • Write test cases and make sure that the institutions can be selected and saved.
