   Starting with LON-CAPA 2.11.0 use of the inst\_usertypes()
   subroutine is deprecated. The domain configuration web GUI
   accessible to Domain Coordinators is now used to
   manage institutional types.  If you have previously
   customized the inst\_usertypes() routine, then values set there 
   will be used when displaying the "Institutional user types"
   section in the domain config screen for:
   "Default authentication/language/timezone/portal/types".
   
   Once a Domain Coordinator has visited that screen and saved the 
   settings, configuration thereafter will be via the web GUI of
   values stored in the domain's configuration.db file on
   the primary library server in the domain, and values in
   inst\_usertypes() will no longer be consulted. However, if you have
   created other custom routines in localenroll.pm which call 
   inst\_usertypes() internally, you will likely want to continue to
   maintain it.
