GCCAZ Group Resources managed by New Genesis

Based on entries made in its NP table, Genesis provisions these Active Directory Group based GCCAZ resources:

• Course Folders
  1. Genesis creates (if necessary) and manages membership of two appropriately named groups in DomainGroups (underlined portion of NP.grp column). One is read-only and the other has edit access.
  2. Genesis creates the appropriately named folder (see table). The read-only and edit groups created in #1 are used in ACL's to automatically provide edit access (typically for instructors) and read-only access (typically students) to the folder.
  3. deleting course folders is currently not automatic, it is a manual process
• Departmental Faculty Folder
  1. These folders are created manually but most access to the folder is managed by Genesis via the NMX tables.
  2. An example of such a folder would be a folder for English Faculty. Genesis will use a row in the NMX table to make all instructors of active English sections (ie ENG,ENH,CRE,RDG,MCO,JRN,ESL courses) members of the group NMX-ENGLISH-FACULTY. This group is manually given read access to the folder.
  3. Edit access to the folder is granted manually and is not handled by Genesis

• Collaborative Workspaces (CWS)
  1. Genesis creates individual folders for each student (see table) with edit access assigned to both the student and the instructor
  2. the folder quota in the NP.grp string is applied to each user account on the target NTFS volume
  3. access to CWS folders expires when students are graded. Deleting these folders is a manual process.
• Enrollment Groups
  1. Genesis creates (if necessary) and manages membership of an appropriately named group in DomainGroups (underlined portion of rbaiplprm.dat entry)
  2. These groups are made members of application groups by the Softgrid admin using the https://genesis.gc.maricopa.edu/admin/AppGroups.pl tool.
  3. Genesis deletes an enrollment group when it contains zero members (future feature)
     
• Quota increases
  • There are 3 categories of quota increases:
    1. Home directory quota bumps assigned to a particular class
    2. Quota associated with a CWS folder (these do not reside on a home directory volumes)
    3. Manual quota assigned to an individual account's H: drive through [ModUser], [ViewUser] or [HelpUser]
  • Quota types 1 and 2 will be revoked when users complete the course associated with the quota bump. This is how the old palette should have worked but it never really did - quota, once granted, was never expired.
  • Quota type 3 can be revoked either through [ModUser]/ [ViewUser] / [HelpUser] or when the account becomes inactive through an automatic or manual process.
    
    

Note: for all users logged into an eGCC workstation, the S: drive will be mapped to \\gccaz.edu\shared
