facility to convert IDM IDs into e-mail IDs. #274

Open kohlhase opened 3 months ago

kohlhase commented 3 months ago

FAU is notorious for deleting student IDM IDs and e-mail addresses days after graduation.

When this happens, we lose all our students, and the students lose access to their learner models. That is not acceptable. We need to have a way that students can avoid this, e.g. by converting an IDM account into an e-mail account. And maybe even having a security e-mail (e.g. gmail) associated with their account, which they can later use to re-claim their account and access.

This should be (jinx incoming) easy to implement on my end. I'll see that LMS exposes an API for that, soon. I've created an issue over there to track that part. The rest is frontend work.

The LMS now has the capacity to rename accounts including learner model and history via API (see the documentation)

Students graduate and lose access at the end of March and the end of September.

So the real deadline to get this doe is September 2024. Until then we should have a working solution and have advertised it to the affected students.
