Go to User Administration

1 Description

A goto link to an user account would be very helpful for system administrators, e.g. an account needs to be confirmed by a system adminstrator. WIth such a goto link in the mail notification, the admin needs only to one click to enter the administration interface in ILIAS. Additionally, a link to activate or refuse the account would be helpful as well.

JF 19 Oct 2009: The feature is highly appreciated.

Matthias Kunkel, 10 Sep 2010: The current implementation of this feature is not what I intended it should be. Such a link should open the user administration of a specific user, not the general user administration. One reason for this feature is to make it administrators easier to activate an account (when registration with confirmation is activated).

In the current implementation, the administration clicks on the link in the mail and gets to the user administration. Now he has to look for the user name in the mail, then returns to ILIAS and enters the user name. After these steps he can finally activate the account. This could be realised much easier by including the user name in the link and to direct an administrator straight to the user administration of the user.

JF 5 Oct 2010: This should be fixed in the way Matthias described.

5 Implementation in ILIAS 4.1

The link format is:
http://<server>/goto.php?target=adm&client_id=<client_id> (Administration) and
http://<server>/goto.php?target=usrf&client_id=<client_id> (User Folder)
