How to Use this Page
Conduct the tests described below on the QA server - http://skdev1.bu.edu:8480/portal - filling in the table with pertinent information. Please note any failures in red. e.g.
pass
fail
Extra notes can be included in the table, or added below as comments if they require more explanation.
Preparations
Create a course site with at least the following tools:
- Announcements
- Resources
Add 4 users to this site:
- 2 Instructors (to make sure they can't hide things from each other)
- 1 Teaching Assistant (be sure to grant "hidden" permission)
- 1 Student
Upload at least one file and one new folder that contains at least one file to the Resources section of a course site.
Verify Permissions:
The Resources tool has a new permission named "Hidden." Before conducting any testing, verify that the Instructor and Teaching Assistant roles have the hidden permission, and the Student role does not. You can alter this as an Instructor through the "Permissions" action link at the top of the Resources tool.

Test Public Access
Test Attachments
Set a file resource to be hidden, and try creating and accessing attachments using several different tools. Verify student access to each (i.e. attachments should not be controlled by the hidden setting).
Announcement attachment
Syllabus attachment
Gradebook attachment
Samigo attachment
rWiki attachment
Test Search
Search must be enabled on the server (it is not yet as of r13456). Search should only show results for content to which a user has access, and so hidden files should not be included.
