Action

Expected Result

1

admin

Identify a course with both a roster and the Drop Box enabled.

One or more courses identified as test cases.

2

admin

In Resources, establish a WebDav client for this course. Modify the URL string while creating the client from

https://smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu:8443/dav/siteID/

to

https://smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu:8443/dav/group-user/siteID/
