Permissions for using certain endpoints when creating courses #1322

Open jathak opened 6 years ago

jathak commented 6 years ago

Right now, anyone can create a course with any available endpoint.

This means that a course's standard endpoint format may already have been taken for a particular semester. We should have some system of reserving certain patterns of endpoints for certain users.

Makes sense. Has this happened for an established course? We can probably manually fix if so.

jathak commented 6 years ago

There were empty (aside from the creator) courses for cal/cs61a/sp18, cal/cs61a/su18, and cal/cs61a/fa18 that I used admin permissions to remove the creator and repurpose them for 61A, but if someone ever creates a course that's actually being used with one of our endpoints, that would be an issue (since changing their endpoint in the middle of the course would break links for students)

👍 this is a good idea.

we should also change the default value to not suggest it being some variant of cal/cs61a/sp18
