1 Initial Problem
Currently roles can be ex/imported, but role templates lack this funcionality. This is is annoying if e.g. you prepare a role template in a test system, configure all necessary permissions, test the efects and then want to transfer this template to a production system. Other scenarios are multiple ILIAS instances which should use the samte templates. Users have to
- transfer the permission settings of a template manually (which is annoying and prone to errors) or
- use workarounds like
- create a role from the template
- export the role
- extract parts of the permissions-xml from the export
- insert the permissions to a didactic template xml
- import the didactic template
- remove the didactic template
to transfer a role template from one system to another
2 Conceptual Summary
like roles, role templates should have a functionality to ex/import their settings
3 User Interface Modifications
3.1 - List of Affected Views
Adminsitration -> Roles -> RoleTemplateGUI
Administration-> Roles ->RoleFolderGUI
3.2 User Interface Details
The Role Template GUI needs a new Tab for Exports, same functionality like for roles
The Role Folder GUI needs an additional Button to import role templates (alternatively, the role import could be enabled to imort role templates, too and relabled accordingly)
3.3 New User Interface Concepts
No new UI Concepts
3.4 Accessibility Implications
No new Accessibility Implications

4.2 Technical Aspects
{ Necessary technical information have to be provided here, e.g. dependencies on other ILIAS components, necessary modifications in general services/architecture, potential security or performance issues. }
4.3 Privacy
No personal data affected
4.4 Security
Like for roles, exports of permissions could reveal improperly set permissions. Since this behaviour is present for roles, there should be no new security implications.
When ex/importing role templates, permissions of the current user must be checked (like with roles)
