Fedora Talk Admin Cases

This page is intended to be a comprehensive list of all the things a Administrator might need to do with FedoraTalk. A separate page holds things Regular Users or Facilitators might want to do. These use cases are developed as part of the FAD Fedora Talk 2009 game plan.
 * If it is works today, there should be a link to a wiki page explaining how to do it
 * If it doesn't exist to day, there should be a link to an Ticket with a keyword of ftalk.

Revoke Fedora Talk Privileges for a User
Jonnie has been hosting conferences on illicit subjects and otherwise using Fedora Talk for purposes it was not intended for that violate the Fedora mission and casts doubts on its four foundations. How dare he!


 * 1) Admin reminds Jonnie of appropriate uses for Fedora Talk
 * 2) Abuse continues
 * 3) Admin in the Accounts group takes appropriate action such as disabling Jonnie's account.

Mute or Disconnect a Noisy Attendee
Rowdy Ralph has joined a conference and his line is very noisy (background noise, feedback, etc.). Rowdy is disrupting the conference. The administrator needs to put Rowdy's line on hold or disconnect him from the call

RESOLUTION: Asterisk does not currently have this ability, however it may in the future.

Meeting Facilitator Requests a Recorded Conference
Susan is hosting a conference and would like to have it recorded. Roofus is in the sysadmin-tools FAS group (provides ssh priviledges to asterisk box) and helps with Fedora Talk tickets.

 Susan files an infrastructure ticket requesting that a specific conference room be recorded at a particular time and date.  Roofus sets up an  job to start the meeting:   Recording stops automatically after the last participant hangs up or four hours is reached--whichever is first. Roofus copies /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/conference- -.ogg to the location for downloadable conferences: TBD on alt.fedoraproject.org.  Alternatively, Roofus can also manually stop the recording  
 * 1) start-recording --conference=
 * 1) stop-recording --conference=
