Here is an example of the form that I have created that I use to create new Course Conferences.
I use EnableFieldSubstition and a corresponding Batch Admin (FirstClass Scripting) script to create the conferences and layouts.
They click on SUBMIT and it creates this:
 on their desktopInside that conference is:
The permissions on each of the conferences are already set.
For example on the Science 10 Dropbox conference we have
This was all done by setting up a dummy conference then using the EXPORT Command to get the script then use a form with field substitution along with the export script to make it generic. This creates a bit of a Wizard.
Below is the script that is is placed in the body of this message.
The message gets sent to Admin that has a mail rule that forwards the message on to Batch Admin if the subject line is one that I have specified in the rule. Not the same one you see here in my example however :)
This means that the end user does not have to know what the Batch Admin password is because otherwise you would have to put the line
PW XXXXXX in your script and that could be really dangerous.
The way this works is that it creates a new Conference inside the Private Conferences:Course Conferences folder then aliases it out to the requester's desktop.
