What are Author Sign-ons?

If Author Sign-on is selected, an additional sign-on in the "author" group is created. People in this group, have access to the lesson development tools available on the system, and can request lesson space to write their own lessons, or programs to run on IRATA.ONLINE. Author sign-ons do not use the menu, by default, and expect the user to know what lessons they want to edit.
