Report Modifications, Room Configuration, Server Rebuild, and User Permissions
This week we pushed Astra ahead some more by looking over report modifications and modifying user permissions. I had cut back user permissions to prevent issues such as random buildings going offline for no apparent reason, however, some of those needed to be relaxed to allow certain users to modify events. Additionally, I have been looking at some of the computer labs to make sure we don't schedule events into our open student labs without the lab manager's OK first.
As you know, our server got hacked into a while back. We've cleaned that mess up, but we continue to see some weird behavior which we believe is still connected to the break-in. Brian wants to rebuild the server entirely, and I think that's a great idea. So I've been collecting information about the process for re-installing Astra on the server. It isn't as bad as I first thought, but of course will take some doing.
By the way, it looks like Astra version 7.2 will be available soon. This is a completely web based version that we intend to install when it's available. Ah, job security! Overall, things are going pretty smoothly in the Astra world this week.
