OppiaMobile Server Permissions
There are various permissions associated with users in OppiaMobile, some based on the default Django users system and others based on extra permissions the user has been specifically given.
Admin User - this is the standard Django superuser (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/auth/default/) - a typical user with this role would be a system/server administrator. Admin users are able to add/edit/delete any data directly from the Oppia Django Admin pages.
Staff - this is the standard Django staff user (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/auth/default/) - a typical user would be a project manager/officer, college or ministry staff, essentially users who need to access all the data/reports within the server, but not necessarily responsible for the technical maintenance or server level admin. Staff users do not have any permissions to add/edit/delete data in the Oppia Django Admin pages.
Teachers/Students - in Django permissions terms, both teachers and students are standard users. The only difference between them is that a teacher has been assigned the teacher status to a particular cohort of students. A cohort is just a group of teachers and students assigned to a particular set of courses. A user may have the role of teacher on one set of courses, but then be a student on other courses.

Notes:
Staff are able to access the Django admin URL, however they do not have permissions to view any of the data models or actual data through this
Any user (teacher or student) may be given permissions to upload courses by changing the ‘can upload’ field in their UserProfile to be true.
Teachers may only view cohorts that they are teachers in.
Students may view their own activity within a cohort
Students and Teachers may view all the courses available on the server, except those that are still in draft stage
A teacher may only view the activity for courses they are assigned to be teachers on, and then only for the students in the cohorts they are teachers in.
Students may see their own activity within a course or cohort - but not anyone elses
Any user may be given Course viewer permissions to be able to view a specific course that is currently draft
Any user may be given Course manager permissions to be able to update (republish) a course
There is a settings option to disable profile editing
