Adds and/or removes staff in multiple edX courses at once. Can also be run with the --list option to only create a list of who's staff where rather than making changes.

Using this script requires a CSV file with the following headers. You can find an example csv file in the test folder.

• URL - the address of class' Course Team Settings page.
• Add - the e-mail addresses of the staff to be added.
• Promote - promotes an existing staff member to Admin.
• Remove - removes staff from the course, regardless of whether they're currently Admin or not.
• Demote - removes Admin status, but leaves the user as staff.

When you have multiple people in any of these categories, space-separate them. You can find an example in the test folder.

This repo includes a Mac version of the Chrome webdriver, which is licensed under the a separate set of terms. If you need a different version of the driver you'll have to replace that file (using the same name).

Since chromedriver is not a signed Mac application it will throw a warning the first time you run it. Go to System Preferences --> Security and Privacy and tell it to open anyway. You should be able to

To install and use for the first time:

# clone this repo
$> git clone https://github.com/Colin-Fredericks/edx_replace_staff.git

# create a virtualenv and activate it
$> python3 -m venv edxstaff
$> source edxstaff/bin/activate
(edxstaff) $>

# install requirements
(edxstaff) $> cd hx_util
(edxstaff) $> pip3 install -r requirements.txt

# install hx_util
(edxstaff) $> pip3 install .

# to add or remove staff
(edxstaff) $> edx_replace_staff /path/to/input/csv

# when done
(edxstaff) $> deactivate

On later runs you can do a simpler version:

$> source edxstaff/bin/activate (edxstaff) $> edx_replace_staff /path/to/input/csv (edxstaff) $> deactivate

Run the whole process from the top if you need to reinstall (for instance, if the script and/or its requirements change).

• -h or --help: print the instructions and quit.
• -l or --list: list staff in each course, make no changes.
• -v or --visible: run with a visible browser instead of a headless one.
