That'd be Q1
<br>
<br>
The rest seems fine - I would guess it would work, bar the accounts
<br>
for OSLS (might be legacy), and the student in Health Sciences.
<br>
Index.php has if else on the login statements checking for usernames
<br>
and the like - I think there was 3 special cases.
<br>
<br>
Things to consider - whether dragging the folders in alters any
<br>
permissions on the files?
