Default Configuration of Member Gallery in Courses

If you need any help in filling out this wiki page, please visit our ILIAS Community FAQ. And please complete the metadata information in the right column after having created the page.

1 Initial Problem

Used case: 
A new course is added to the repository. After saving, the member gallery is initially activated. But very often administrators are not aware of the fact that this setting leads to a mutal visbility of group members and they forget to deactivate the setting. Especially when a course deals with data protection-related issues this becomes a problem.
Example: registration for corporate health care.

Please see related bugreport: https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=28345

2 Conceptual Summary

It should be possible to configure the default of the member gallery globally: Administration >> Repository and Objects >> Course.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 06 JUL 2020 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7. We would like to mention the member gallery setting also in Administration » Privacy and Security (listing setting and offer "Edit Settings" link to course administration). And sessions within courses should inherit the setting of the parent course. When membership gallery is deactivated by default for courses, the same setting should be given for sessions - and vice versa.

10 Implementation

{The maintainer has to give a description of the final implementation and add screenshots if possible.}
