Description
This PR adds role-based visibility control for the course unit publish button. Previously, all course team members could see and use the publish button. Now, the button is hidden by default for staff members, while instructors continue to see it.
Why this change?
In many Open edX deployments, staff members shouldn't have the ability to publish content - that responsibility should be limited to instructors who have oversight of the course. This change enforces that separation of concerns at the UI level.
How it works:
User roles impacted:
Supporting information
This change introduces a new plugin slot:
org.openedx.frontend.authoring.course_unit_publish_button.v1The role check uses the existing course team API endpoint (
/api/contentstore/v1/course_team/{courseId}), so no backend changes are required.Testing instructions
Manual testing steps:
Create a test course and add two users to the course team:
Log in as User A (staff):
Log in as User B (instructor):
Test the plugin slot (optional for operators):
