Overview
The "Course Teacher - Update" operation in this node allows updating the permissions and roles of a teacher associated with a specific course. This is useful for managing access control and responsibilities of teachers within courses, such as granting visualization rights, assigning tutor or grader roles, and enabling access to financial or community notifications.
Practical examples include:
- Updating a teacher's role from a regular instructor to a tutor.
- Granting or revoking a teacher's ability to view student profiles or manage course news.
- Enabling financial information access for certain teachers involved in course administration.
This operation helps maintain accurate and up-to-date teacher permissions without manual intervention in the backend system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Course ID | The unique identifier of the course to which the teacher belongs. |
| Teacher ID | The unique identifier of the teacher whose details are being updated. |
| Teacher Visualization | Whether the teacher can visualize (view) the course content. |
| Tutor | Whether the teacher has the role of a tutor in the course. |
| Grader | Whether the teacher is assigned as a grader for the course. |
| Profile Viewer | Whether the teacher can view student profiles related to the course. |
| News | Whether the teacher can manage news items related to the course. |
| Financial | Whether the teacher has access to financial information for the course. |
| Community Notification | Whether the teacher receives community notifications related to the course. |
Output
The output of this operation typically contains JSON data representing the updated teacher record for the specified course. This includes the teacher's ID, course ID, and all updated permission flags (visualization, tutor, grader, profile viewer, news, financial, community notification).
If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to attachments or media linked to the teacher or course, but based on the provided code and properties, this operation focuses on JSON data updates only.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Mindz API.
- The node depends on the Mindz platform's API endpoints for course teacher management.
- Proper configuration of the OAuth2 or API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: Errors may occur if
Course IDorTeacher IDare not provided. Ensure these fields are filled correctly. - Permission Denied: If the API key lacks sufficient privileges, updates may fail. Verify that the API credentials have rights to modify course teacher data.
- Invalid Boolean Values: Boolean fields like
Tutor,Grader, etc., must be true/false. Passing invalid values might cause errors. - Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the Mindz API will prevent successful updates. Check network and API endpoint availability.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent updates might hit rate limits imposed by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
