Description Stefan Gohmann

Customer needs a backport for UCS@school 4.3

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #48080 +++

At least one customer has run into a concept problem with the computer rooms/exam mode:

Teacher computers must be members of the computer rooms if they want to use iTALC functions such as presentation mode. However, these computers are currently subject to the same restrictions as the student computers. This means that access to shares will be restricted and, even worse, Internet access will also be restricted/prevented.

This can lead to the teacher locking himself out because, for example, the client systems are configured via a firewall so that HTTP/HTTPS access can only take place via the proxy. If the proxy prohibits any access by the rule "No Internet", the teacher is locked out.

If ucsschoolRoles is set, teacher computers may be given their own role (e.g. "computer-teacher" or "windows-teacher"), which will allow our code to better distinguish on a case-by-case basis whether or not the teacher computer is considered part of the group for certain functions.

After a discussion with the customer this feature does not have to be ported back to UCS 4.3 since his problems have been fixed through other means.

If the missing backport becomes an issue again, feel free to reopen this bug with a comment explaining why the teacher computer feature should be backported to 4.3 after all.
