# Runbook: Student Account Lifecycle
|
|
|
|
Covers creating, converting, resetting, and revoking student accounts. See
|
|
`docs/PHASE5A_STUDENT_IDENTITY_REMOTE_CLASSROOM.md` for the underlying design.
|
|
|
|
**Create a new credentialed student** (`/admin` → Students → Add student):
|
|
|
|
Fill in display name plus **either** email (older/self-paced) or login ID (younger/instructor-
|
|
managed) — leave both blank for a plain pilot account instead. Submitting shows an activation
|
|
link **once**: `https://<domain>/?activate=<token>`. Copy it immediately (print it, read it
|
|
aloud, hand it over) — it is never shown again and never stored in plaintext anywhere. The
|
|
student opens the link and sets their own password; the instructor never sees it.
|
|
|
|
**Convert an existing pilot student to a real account** (Students → \[student\] → Convert):
|
|
|
|
Same as creation, but for a student who already exists with progress/attempts/achievements —
|
|
none of that is touched. Give an email or login ID, get a one-time activation link the same way.
|
|
|
|
**Bulk import via CSV** (Students → Bulk import):
|
|
|
|
Columns: `display_name, email, login_identifier, cohort_id` (only `display_name` is required per
|
|
row). The whole file is validated before anything is written — one bad row rejects the entire
|
|
file with a list of row errors, rather than importing some rows and skipping others. Never
|
|
include a password column; it will always be rejected if present. Activation links for every
|
|
created row are shown once after a successful import.
|
|
|
|
**Reset a student's password** (Students → \[student\] → Reset password):
|
|
|
|
Only for already-credentialed accounts. Issues a fresh reset link (`?reset=<token>`, valid 1
|
|
hour) and immediately revokes every existing session for that student — the instructor still
|
|
never sees or sets the actual password.
|
|
|
|
**Revoke a student's sessions** (Students → \[student\] → Revoke all sessions):
|
|
|
|
Immediately invalidates every active login for that student without touching their password.
|
|
Use this if a device is lost/shared or a session looks compromised.
|
|
|
|
**Deactivate a student** (Students → \[student\] → PATCH status: inactive, via the existing
|
|
students list — deactivation takes effect on their very next request, not just their next
|
|
login, because `studentSession` middleware re-checks `status='active'` every time.
|
|
|
|
**If a student says their activation/reset link "doesn't work":** tokens are single-use and
|
|
time-limited (activation 7 days, reset 1 hour). Just issue a new one via Convert or Reset
|
|
password — there's no way to "resend" the same token, and that's intentional.
