She also began researching APIs to enable the connection to Facebook for maximizing sustainable human potential. Sai Preetham worked on creating the “Tracking” button permission under a new “Tracking Management” category. He analyzed requirements, reviewed a provided video to clarify expectations, and ensured the implementation aligned with user needs. His work included exploring the existing permission structure to integrate the feature seamlessly with default access for Owners and Admins, assessing the impact on the dashboard, and outlining backend and frontend changes. He created a new branch to begin frontend development, updated the permissionsList to include the new category and permissions, modified the PermissionListItem component to render these permissions dynamically, and ensured integration with the permissions management system. Additionally, he worked on the weekly summary and Dropbox images for the week.

Luis continued working on creating new warnings. He incorporated Jae’s feedback by adding the warning items inside the modal and displaying users’ current warnings. During this process, he discovered that issuing warnings on the dashboard had broken, so he reverted his commit and created a new branch to troubleshoot the issue. He resolved the problem, integrated his updated code, and ensured that warnings were displayed correctly without allowing warnings to be issued from the user profile, restricting that functionality to the dashboard. See the Highest Good Society and the Highest Good Network pages to learn more about how their work contributes to maximizing sustainable human potential.
