Research direction
The issue describes disabled instructor removal and the lack of course management in the admin panel, but names no files, tests, or entry points. First read the discussions in #312, #378, and #380 to understand the constraints; work cannot be scoped until the product decision among the listed options is made.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
An admin can't remove an instructor who is teaching any course. The Remove Instructor button is disabled until those courses are gone (added in #312 so courses don't end up without an owner).
Since #378 removed course management from the admin panel, an admin also has no way to move a course to a different instructor. In practice, removing an instructor who has courses now requires the instructor to delete their own courses first, which deletes the course data too. That doesn't work if the instructor has left, or if the course should continue under someone else.
Options:
- Add a narrow admin-only "change instructor" action for a course, without giving admins any other course access.
- Let an instructor hand a course over to another instructor or TA themselves.
- Leave it as is and handle it manually in the database when it comes up.
This is a product decision. Option 1 keeps admin power limited to accounts and ownership, which matches the reasoning in #380.
