This week the team presented our work in the QRB 2 event. We had accomplished a lot on the project since the last presentation, so we were very excited to showcase what we’ve been working on and get some feedback. Now that we’re in the final stages of our project, most of our future work will be on testing the system, finalizing the security groups and roles, and gathering feedback from our sponsor liaisons.

Speaking of finalizing security groups, we made great progress this week on our custom file upload application. It’s now able to upload files to specific folders based on their assigned clearance level. It’s also able to set file permissions based on many different values that are stored in its metadata. One of the most important aspects of our project was that uploaded files are separated depending on their clearance level so this was an important milestone. We’ve also finalized the method we will use to organize the files in the system. Before, we were placing all the files in the same upload folder and setting permissions on each file accordingly. Now we’re moving files to corresponding folders based on their categories and setting permissions on the folder itself. This is much more efficient than our previous solution and it will allow us to be more flexible when developing our upload application further.
