Restrict Mail for Learners
1 Description
The underlying problem is that currently (ILIAS 4.0) all users can send internal mails to all other users, roles, groups, and courses. We would like to restrict the set of possible recipients for users.
2 Status
- Scheduled for Release: Release ILIAS 4.1
- Funding: Universität zu Köln
- Development: Feature is already developed by Nadia Ahmad / Databay AG

JF 30 Nov 2009: We need an additional permission that allows to send mails only to other users with some relationship (to a learner). Matthias will provide a suggestion.
[CB 10.02.2010] At this time it would be sufficient for us to be able to restrict members of certain global roles in sending mails to other global roles. (It might without doubt make sense to think this feature in a more thorough way, thought.)
Nadia Krzywon, 02 Mar 2010: We implemented a new feature for the University of Cologne and want to integrate this implementation into the standard ILIAS (4.1).
- We added a new operation/permission in the mail administration: Users may send mails to global roles
- The default behaviour (after database update) is: This new permission is granted to all global roles, so the former behaviour is not changed
- If a non-legitimated user wants to send a message to one or more globale roles (to, cc or bcc), an appropriate error message appears.
JF, 08 Mar 2010: Highly appreciated for 4.1
