Configuration Information

M2

For the M2 release, system administrators need to set MC permissions in the helper realm.

M3 and Subsequent Releases

For M3 and subsequent releases, you must do the following to integrate Message Center with the current Sakai release:

System administrators need to set the role to permission level mapping in sakai.properties. OOTB generic roles are set to the following:

mc.default.Student=Contributor
mc.default.Instructor=Owner

Permissions levels that may be mapped to a role are as follows: Author, Contributor, None, Nonediting Author, Owner, and Reviewer.

Note: If you add a role to sakai.properties that has a space, you must escape it with a backslash (e.g., mc.default.project\ owner=Owner).

System administrators also need to set default permissions for the permission levels in the database. At IU, the permissions assigned to the above permission levels can be found here: IU's Default Permissions

If you have auto.ddl turned off, you can use the following script to upgrade from M2 to M3:
