Display Email Not Kerberos Name Test
The UCD Sakai team has modified our code so each user's email address is displayed in the User Id fields rather than the user's Kerberos name. The email name is the first part of the email address before the "@ucdavis.edu". For many UCD faculty, staff, and students, both names are the same; for others, the Kerberos name is radically different and difficult to associate with an individual. Just ask peon or nuchickn. 
Test Setup
For our QA group, only Brian has the same email as Kerberos name. For the purpose of this test, I'm including our email names and what to check for here:
Name | Email Name | Difference |
|---|---|---|
Lisa | lijwilson | 'n' on the end |
Alex | awma | totally different |
Vernon | vloconnor | totally different |
Nancy | ncwilkison | full last name |
Pat | mpkava | 'mp' for Mary Pat |
If you do not have all the tools available to you activated, please add them as needed for this test. You may need other testsers to interact with you to complete this test.
Test Steps
Access the following tools as noted and verify that the user's email name is displayed as the User or Student Id - not his/her Kerberos name. If you run into other issues with this test, please shoot me an email as we're checking tools previously untested.
# | Tool | UserId Location |
|---|---|---|
1. | Assignments | If you have some assignments with submissions, select Grade Report from the intra-tool navigation. Select Download Spreadsheet. Verify the User Ids in the spreadsheet. |
2. | Drop Box | This step requires that you activate Drop Box and create a WebDAV client on your computer. After you've done so, access WebDAV and change the part of the URL between "dav/" and the site id by adding "group-user" so this part of the URL looks like "dav/group-user/siteid". This step allows you direct access to the drop box folder. Verify the folder names. |
3. | Gradebook | Select Overview and than a gradebook item and verify the Student Ids. |
4. | Gradebook | Select Roster and verify the Student Ids. |
5. | Roster | Verify the User Id's on the default Site Roster screen. |
6. | Roster | Select the ExportCSV button from the Site Roster screen. Verify the User Ids from the downloaded file. |
7. | Section Info | Select Student Memberships and verify the Student Ids. |
8. | Site Info | Check the Participant List on the default screen and verify the user ids. |
9. | Site Info | Select Manage Groups and then New. Verify the user Ids. |
10. | Tests & Quizzes | For published quizzes with scores, select Scores and then Submission Status and verify UserIDs. |
11. | As you will | Try out various tools to determine if I've missed a location. Report the tool, the intra-tool location and what format the user or student id is visible in. |
Reporting instructions: Report the test step where the User or Student Id does NOT appear in email format. Do not report a fail or pass as we need to determine if any exceptions are actually okay.

Site Info Mailid Test
This test series is designed to address multiple issues in SmartSite with manually adding users to a course via Site Info.
The test requires that you enter both valid and invalid UCDavis mailIDs, email addresses, and Kerberos IDs. A mailid is just the username portion of a UC Davis mail account without '@ucdavis.edu'. For some users, the mailID and Kerberos are the same; for others, the two are different. Invalid data would be any email account outside of the UCDavis sphere, for example, your gmail account which is invalid for UCD authentication. To come up with invalid mailIDs and Kerberos IDs, you may need to use your imagination!
