In the old Electures-Portal we could set a central username and password for the students to access the lectures, why is that not possible anymore?

As of Version 0.2 this is not needed anymore. Students should automatically become a member of the module communities for the modules they registered at the universities systems. For historical reasons we keep the information below. It is still possible though not recommended, since the username and password can be easily distributed (making the password-protection useless). Follow these steps to get the functionality back:

• (Re-)Set the permissions for all Filetypes to „Community“ only.
• Create a useraccount in the Electures-Portal with your desired username and password.
• Put this useraccount in the group/community for this modul. This enables this account to download all materials from this modul.
