Status: Maintenance
Responsibilities
The Certificates app is responsible for creating and managing Course-Run certificates, including any relevant data models for invalidating and white-listing users' certificate eligibilities.
Direction: Move and Extract
Certificates related functionality is scattered across a number of places and should be better consolidated. Today we have:
lms/djangoapps/certificatesopenedx/core/djangoapps/certificatescms/djangoapps/contentstore/views/certificates.py- Various front-end static templates in multiple locations
Ideally, we want to extract these into the credentials service, which would be ultimately responsible for Course-Run and Program certificates (and possibly other credentials). Right now, the credentials service only manages Program certificates.
