SOAP: Enable options Notification, Tutorial Support and Access Refused in assignCourseMember Service

Page Overview

[Hide]

1 Initial Problem

Currently, the SOAP Method  assignCourseMember in the ILIAS core does not support setting the options Notification, Tutorial Support and Access Refused. While these options can already be set manually via the ILIAS UI, there is no way to enable them through SOAP.

2 Conceptual Summary

The assignCourseMember support more fields  for setting the contact person and the update of notifications

5 Discussion

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 12 JAN 2026: Suggestion is highly appreciated and accepted for trunk.

Kruse, Fabian [Fabian], 27.10.2026: We have not had a test suite for manual SOAP testing since ILIAS 5.3: "We do not want manual testing of the SOAP interface but prefer an automatic procedure. Facing the upcoming Service Discovery, we postpone testing of SOAP for 5.4 and hope we can solve this problem with the Service Disco. Test cases in Testrail can be removed.“ (JF Minutes)

Hence, Sagun’s test outline is appreciated, but cannot currently be tested due to technical limitations. A proper SOAP Test Tool would be required as far as Matthias and I can tell. Any ideas ot input on how to proceed here would be appreciated.

For the time being, this feature can be part of the Beta Release as far as I am concerned.

6.2 Test Cases

Expanding the test cases is recommended for assigning course members via the SOAP service assignCourseMember:

1. Notification
Assign user as "Admin" via SOAP with notification = 1 → in the course "Members" tab, column "Notification" is checked for this user.

2. Tutorial Support
Assign user as "Admin" via SOAP with contact_person = 1 → in the course "Members" tab, column "Tutorial Support" is checked for this user.

3. Access Refused
Assign user as "Member" via SOAP with blocked = 1 → in the course "Members" tab, column "Access Refused" is checked for this user.

4. Role constraint
Assign user as "Member" with notification = 1 or contact_person = 1, or as "Admin" with blocked = 1 → the option is not checked for this user in the "Members" tab.

Test cases completed at {date} by {user}

  • {Test case number linked to Testrail} : {test case title}
