Groups and enrollment (scales to many courses)
NB! If zulip gives notification that user is deactivated, please write to ati.comp@ut.ee to restore membership For each course create two groups:
g-YYYY-fall|spring-course-studentsg-YYYY-fall|spring-course-staff
Access rules:
- Course channel: students group + staff group. (Separation only needed, if you need to give different rights, ex delete everyone's posts)
- Staff channel: staff group only
- (If used) announcements channel: everyone can read; only staff can post
Enrollment notes:
- Users must exist in Zulip (via SSO login or invite) before they can be added to groups.
- There is no CSV upload of emails into a group in the UI; Hopefully, some alternative solution comes in the near future.
Suggested workflow:
- Create a public channel and share the invite link with students. Click ellips
-> Copy link to channel
- From Main Menu
-> Group settings-> create new user group-> #your-course-channel (adds all subscribers of that channel into the group).
- If needed, you can always add them manually. Students have to be logged into the system at least once beforehand.
- Add manually staff emails to create course staff group. Only needed, if they need more rights than regular member in the course. Channel creator can still administer their channel.
