Role assignment logging

1 Description

The functionality would be optional to enable for each client.
Changes to all role assignments would be logged for each user in the database, i.e.

• (Admin) user who makes the change
• Datetime of change
• What role is changed
• Assigned or de-assigned

2 Status

Scheduled for Release: was Release 4.1
Funding: Required
Development: iNetworks and Leifos (plugin slot enhancements)

3 Additional Information

We possibly need a somewhat similar functionality on behalf of a client who needs to record and list specific role changes over time. As this feature has a close resemblance with role-auditing we imagine it could be good for the project.
We have not decided what to do with deleted roles.
Please give any feedback and thoughts you have.

JF 30 Nov 2009: This could be done hardcoded or as a plugin (event plugin). ILIAS must notify the event plugins for these kind of events and the plugin could write logging data to a file. We currently prefer the plugin solution.

Gødvad: I actually agree with you but need a different kind of functionality. Let's discuss if relevant which I hopefully will know very soon.

Jesper Gødvad 10 Jan 2010: We're going forward in creating the functionality that our client needs. As I've written previously it only some-what fits so we cannot fund a lot on this but are willing to contribute. We need a price tag. Also see: ILIAS forum.

JF 11 Jan 2010: Providing events for plugins for role assignments/deassignments would be a day maximum. If you want to tackle all RBAC operations it would be up to 2 days.

Zenzen, Enrico [ezenzen], 18 AUG 2022: This request no longer fulfills the requirements of the Feature Wiki. In consultation with the maintainer I change the status of the feature request to "Redundant / outdated". If the request is still relevant, please update template and mockups.
