Permission-sensitive information about admittance

1 Initial Problem

The possibility to join a course or a group depends from the permission "Join" in both modules. Only if this permission is given, a user with a related role has the chance to join a group or course – depending on the settings for the registration process (Direct … | Join with … | Request …).

If a user has the VISIBLE permission for a group or course but no JOIN permission, this user is re-directed to the Info page and gets the following information from ILIAS: You can join this course directly.

But that's fake news! This user cannot join the course directly due to missing permissions. The correct message to be displayed would be: You cannot join this course due to missing permissions.

2 Conceptual Summary

ILIAS should present information about admittance to a group or course depending on the given permissions of a user. Information about the registration process should only be presented to users with JOIN permission. The decision workflow should be as follows:

• Permission JOIN not given: ‘Admittance: You cannot join this {course|group} due to missing permissions.‘
• Permission JOIN is given: ‘Admittance: {Information about registration process}‘
