Brief Overview of How ACRRPS Works

Intro

Like I said before, this project is still in development, But quite people of testers requested that I should write a short overview on how the project works to give them an insight on how to aproach the project.

Users

So currently there are three categories of users on ACRRPS:

  • Administrator

  • Lecturer

  • Student

Well lets start with how the each users get access to the site:

Administrator

The Administrator was created by the developer.

Lecturers

The Administrator is responsible for uploading the lecturers to the site. How?: The Administrator creates a csv file that contains the profile details of lecturers, and then upload it to the site. After the upload is successful, the lecturer receives a mail containing an autogenerated username and password which they can use to access the site. As you might have guessed, the Administrator is not supposed to be the one to generate the csv file that contains the lecturer datails, of course you’re right, but the idea here is that the school will provide the details that will be used by the administrator.

Student

Students gets access to the site similarly to the way lecturersgot their access. the only difference is that the Students can choose to either log-in with their username or Natric_number.
