Partner Access to Course Setup
information
17
Access to Course setup files
Our current programs are designed to ensure that classes
require both an authorized SCI and an authorized Training
Partner
•Protects partners from instructors running classes
•Ensures that only authorized instructors teach official SUSE
classes
This has caused an unintended issue with course setups:
•As only SCIs can access the Virtual Machine files it has
caused some training partners to have problems setting up
classes
To resolve this we are creating a repository of VM files
required which our training partners will have direct access to.
Currently in progress, so ‘coming soon’
