Description

Updates the StudioHome API's allow_to_create_new_org to require both organization-creation permissions and settings.ORGANIZATIONS_AUTOCREATE to be enabled.

Previously, users with staff permission were allowed to attempt organization autocreation when creating a course or library using the Authoring MFE, but if ORGANIZATIONS_AUTOCREATE was disabled, they would get an error from the creation API.

ORGANIZATIONS_AUTOCREATE is enabled by default, but edx.org disables it.

Useful information to include:

  • Which edX user roles will this change impact? Course Authors

Deadline

None

Updates the StudioHome API's allow_to_create_new_org to require both
organization-creation permissions and ORGANIZATION_AUTOCREATE to be
enabled.

For reference, the can_create_organizations value is set here:

def user_can_create_organizations(user):
"""
Returns True if the user can create organizations.
"""
return user.is_staff or not settings.FEATURES.get('ENABLE_CREATOR_GROUP', False)

which is pretty different from the original allow_to_create_new_org. But it didn't make sense to me that we'd use a different default value for settings.FEATURES['ENABLE_CREATOR_GROUP'] AND require the user to be staff here.
