- There are two ways of registration to ReCodEx. You can use our built-in authentication system or some external service. Currently there is only one external service: CAS (Charles University Authentication System).
- After successful registration you should be automatically logged in by web application.
- Same as for registration there are two ways of login. Using built-in authentication or some external one.
- During registration instance had to be chosen. After login you should see some information about joined instance and also public groups which are part of that instance.
- Groups have some hierarchy which can be also observed in instance detail. You can join any group which is visible there, but there can also be private non-visible groups to which only supervisors can add members.
- After joining appropriate group there is dashboard where content of group can be seen. Most notably list of all public assigned exercises if there are any.
- On assignment detail there can be found description of exercise, deadlines and some other information.
- The most important thing to student in ReCodEx is "Submit new solution" button. After clicking on it you can upload all files which will be used on evaluation and then submit them.
- By submitting files to evaluation our unique and cool progress bar should show up. In there you can observe progress of your solution which is now beeing executed on one of our workers.
- If everything goes right, hopefully good results of evaluation can be displayed. In there you can found a lot of information about execution, which tests were right and also points which were assigned to you.
- Well... First, let me tell you that this option is available only if you registered with our authentication service, for external ones this will not work.
- Under login form there is link which can lead you to forgotten password page. Here you can type you email address which was used during registration.
- On given email short message from ReCodEx robots should arrive. Part of this message will be link which will lead you back to us on password change page.
- In here password change takes place, after that you can hopefully log in with your new password.
- Please note that password change link is time limitted and is functional only for few minutes.
There are only few roles to which users can belong in ReCodEx. Basically there are only three: student, supervisor, and superadmin. Base role is student which is assigned to every registered user. Roles are stored in database alongside other information about user. One user always has only one role at the time. At first startup of ReCodEx administrator should create his/hers account and them change role in database by hand. After that manual intervention into database should never be needed.
There is a little catch in groups management. Groups can have admins and supervisors. This setting is valid only per one particular group and has to be separated from basic role system. This implies that supervisor in one group can be student in another and simultaneously have global supervisor role. Changing role from student to supervisor and back is done automatically by application and should not be managed by hand in database!
- Student -- Default role which is used for newly created accounts. Student can join or leave public groups and submit solutions of assigned exercises.
- Supervisor -- Inherits all permissions from student role. Can manage groups to which he/she belongs to. Supervisor can also view and change groups details, manage assigned exercises, view students in group and their solutions for assigned exercises. On top of that supervisor can create/delete groups too, but only as subgroup of groups he/she belongs to.
- Superadmin -- Inherits all permissions from supervisor role. Most powerfull user in ReCodEx who should be able to do everything which is provided by application.
