Configure (Cloud Function, Security Rules, Front-End) for loading pending users (wait time)

[ngwattcos]

(for the short-term)
Front-End Creation of a FireUser/FireUser Type

• if the user has no corresponding pendingUser entry, change needsPromotion to undefined and proceed with usual

Firebase Functions: onUserCreate

• on the successful promotion of a user, changes the field needsPromotion to undefined

Security Rules for pendingUsers

• write, read access: professor
• read access: student whose email matches the pending users doc's id. (Is this reliable?????)

"Back-end"

• extend type of FireUser to include needsPromotion: true | undefined = true

Front-end (Talk to the designers about this.)

On the creation of a new user (isNormalEditingMode = false):

• useEffect() conditioned on [needsPromotion]: stop the animation only when needsPromotion becomes undefined
