Integration with edx-platform
******************************

This repository became an edx-platform's dependency starting with the Ulmo release. From that release onwards, system policies are automatically updated.

If you need to update the policies manually, it is recommended to use the ``./manage.py lms load_policies`` command.

.. note::
Currently, this package only supports the `content libraries' roles and permissions as documented here`_, and the migration of data from the old system to the new one is performed automatically.

If you need to migrate the information manually, you should run ``./manage.py lms migrate openedx_authz``.

********************************

Please see the Open edX documentation for `guidance on Python development`_ in this repo.
