Syllabus

In the ranking system you can specify requirements for a belt.  Is it possible for students to see these requirements once promoted to a specific rank?  For example,  say a student was promoted to Gold belt,  is it possible for them to see the Gold Belt requirements plus the other lower belts which they have obtained but NOT see the higher ranking belt requirements?

I think we are on the same page, I may have misworded my initial post. In our system, you have a set of requirements tied to your current rank, say Gold.  In order to get to the next rank, say Orange, you are tested on the requirements at the current level (Gold) without knowing anything of the next rank (Orange).  Once promoted to Orange, then you begin working the requirements for Orange.  I wouldn't expect students to see Orange if they were Gold.  However, I think this is something that could be addressed even with an enhancement that you mention below (seeing the next belt).  For our case, we would just enter the next belt requirements for the current belt - kind of an n+1 scenario.

Correct, just a matter of terminology.  Could probably prevent user confusion with good help documentation.  Would be happy to take on that role and help/test/give you a hand in any way I can when the time comes. :-)

I like it - flexible and efficient.  I actually like the document approach better than requirements in the ranking section.  Mentioning teaching manuals, that got me thinking, would it also be possible to flag the documents according to group also?  For example, say you have an assistant instructor manual - You would want all students who are assistant instructors to be able to access the assistant instructor manual along with their rank requirements - but you wouldn't want students at the same rank requirement to be able to access the assistant instructor manual if they weren't in the assistant instructors goup.

Ok, it's in there.  You can currently restrict access to content (documents, text and HTML) by both Rank and Group.  For Rank, you have to be that rank or higher.  For group, you have to belong to that group.  You can assign more than one group to a User but right now, only one group to a document.  The way it works is that you have to have meet all the criteria.  For example, if you are in the FAMILYPLAN group and a document is marked as allow only FAMILYPLAN, you can get in.  If however, the document is also marked Green belt and above and the user is below green belt, then the document will not show up on the list.  Finally, this only applies to Student and Instructor roles.  Anyone who is a School Admin or Organization admin can add content anyway so they are excluded from the check.  for example, Rhonda at the front desk is not in any group and she doesn't have any rank but if she is a school admin, then she can see all content regardless of settings.  editing content is allowed by school and org admins.  Let me know if you have any questions.
