Active/Inactive as Filter Criterion throughout the System

1 Requirements

Up to now, the user account property "Active/Inactive" cannot be used as a filter criterion throughout the system but only in the global user managament (user list and extended search).
However, it cannot be used, e.g., while:

• Selecting users for course/group membership
• Selecting users for role assignment
• Selecting users for survey, test or exercise invitation
• Filtering learning progress reports.

Thus, inactive users can be selected or invited, and in some of the abovementioned scenarios, the tutor/administrator won't even realize them being inactive.
Therefore, it would be a great help to have the "Active/Inactive" filter from the global user managament available in every form dealing with selection/filtering of user accounts.
 
Here is a suggestion how this feature could be implemented in case of selecting users for course membership:

2 Use Cases

The following is a list of uses cases / scenarios where the option to filter for active / inactive user accounts should be implemented:
 
administration / user accounts / extended user search
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=7&admin_mode=settings&cmdClass=ilrepositorysearchgui&cmdNode=8k:8a:1k&baseClass=ilAdministrationGUI
 
administration / roles / [any role] / user assignment / search user
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=8&admin_mode=settings&obj_id=4&cmd=start&cmdClass=ilrepositorysearchgui&cmdNode=lx:7n:ap&baseClass=ilAdministrationGUI
 
course / members / search users
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=131&cmdClass=ilrepositorysearchgui&cmd=start&cmdNode=8w:gh:ap&baseClass=ilRepositoryGUI
 
group / members / search users
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=135&cmd=start&cmdClass=ilrepositorysearchgui&cmdNode=8w:e8:ap&baseClass=ilRepositoryGUI
 
survey / invitation / [allow invitations for a predefined list] / search for participants
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=306&cmdClass=ilrepositorysearchgui&cmdNode=53:ap&baseClass=ilObjSurveyGUI
 
test / settings / [allow fixed participants in this test]: ON
test / participants / search participants
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=145&cmd=start&cmdClass=ilrepositorysearchgui&cmdNode=e1:ap&baseClass=ilObjTestGUI
 
course / learning progress
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=131&cmdClass=illearningprogressgui&cmdNode=8w:gh:az&baseClass=ilRepositoryGUI
 
group / learning progress
[ILIAS]/ilias.php?ref_id=135&cmdClass=illplistofobjectsgui&cmdNode=8w:e8:az:b1&baseClass=ilRepositoryGUI
