Description

Overview

Perform a manual audit of the Authoring flow and key views (Course Overview, Units Overview) to ensure UI stability. We need to verify that the application doesn't crash or break when users have restricted or missing permissions.

Scope of Work
  • Flow Audit: Navigate through the Authoring module using the new granular roles (Editor and Auditor).
  • Critical Views: Verify Course Overview and Units Overview render correctly without permission errors.
  • Error Handling: Ensure the UI handles empty states or restricted data gracefully.
  • Bug Reporting: Document any UI breaks or inconsistent states found during the audit.
