Audit Logs for Instructors

• Priority: High
• Knowledge required: Full-stack development/testing, E2E testing
• Status: Completed

Some instructors want to know when the students accessed TEAMMATES. For example, when a student claim that 'I tried to submit but the submission did not go through', the instructor might want to check the logs to confirm that the student accessed the submission page at the stated time.

Points to consider:

• We can either store access data in the database or piggyback on GAE logs. Pros and cons of each need to be considered before making a choice.
• We should be careful to avoid unintentional leaks of data or opening up other security vulnerabilities via the audit logs.
