Sugar Network/Resources

The following diagram shows the full list of objects implemented by the Sugar Network API.

Sugar Network objects

Resource.layers

This is an attempt to generalize the idea of user/resource levels with idea that objects should not be removed from the Network immediately (only hidden, and permanently removed by Network administrators). So, every resource is associated with a layer, i.e., it might be visible for observers only if they requested this layer and have permissions to see it.

For now, implemented only the following list of layers, but it might be reused for teachers related workflows later:

• public, object is visible for everyone;
• deleted Network objects' layer will be changed to deleted after removing objects by users.

Context.type

Context types:

• application, software application;
• library, software library;
• activity, Sugar activity;
• article, arbitrary content in a form of article.
