1 Initial Problem
Currently, the SOAP Method 'assignCourseMember' in the ILIAS core does not support sending the welcome mails to the members assigned to the course. When members are added from the UI, those members receive the welcome mails but this is not true when added via SOAP method 'assignCourseMember'.
2 Conceptual Summary
The assignCourseMember supports sending welcome mails to assigned course members.

5 Discussion
JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 09 MAR 2026: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept the feature for trunk. The course will now behave the same no matter if a course member is added via user interface or SOAP. The setting for the course that decides if notification mails to new members are sent or not is respected anyway.
