Group Link
1 Description
It would be highly appreciated if also groups could be linked as references like it is already known from category and courses. I guess, the link concept of learning objects would not fit because groups are container objects. So references could be appropriate. Handling should be similar to courses and categories.
All default global roles as well as all default course and group roles should get VISIBLE permission for this new object type with the DB update script. Course administrator role should get all permissions, addiionally.

3 Discussion
JF 14 Dec 2009: We highly appreciate this idea.
Matthias Kunkel, 20 Mar 2015: Strange that no one is missing this feature yet... I have at least two installations where I is much-needed. And also for reasons of streamlining, such an option for groups (as well as for folders) is necessary.
JF 30 Mar 2015: We appreciate the feature and schedule it for 5.1.
Stefan Meyer, 02 Jun 2016: I support this request for ILIAS 5.2
Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], June 02, 2016: As ILIAS product manager, I support this request, too. To speed up the scheduling process for 5.2, I schedule this feature for 5.2.
JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], June 06, 2016: Highly appreciated. Alexandra will take care of a better naming for the reference objects (as they are no references).
Alexandra Tödt, 2016-07-26: To come up with better labels we had a full round of discussion (inlcuding Richard Klees, Stefan Meyer, Fabian Kruse, Matthias Kunkel, Florian Suittenpointner, all members of the online help editorial team and Alexandra Tödt. W have decided nto use: "Course-Link" / "Group-Link". We suggest to re-label the action of "Linking" to "Referencing".
Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], July 25, 2016: I appreciate 'Category Link', 'Course Link' and 'Group Link' for English and "Kategorie-Link", "Kurs-Link" and "Gruppen-Link" for German version. I would keep "Verknüpfen" for the German version and avoid "referenzieren". But I do not know if 'referencing' is understood by all English users, esp. 'housewifes' ;-) But I would not object to.
Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], August 08, 2016: Object type has been renamed to "Group Link" / "Gruppen-Link". Current page is renamed, too.

Test Cases
Test cases completed at 2016-07-26 by atoedt
Due to the re-lableing it was required to look at the Category-Link, Course-Link cases as well. There was very little in terms of those cases.
