Mails about status changes

Suppress the sending of automatic status e-mails

When users are assigned to courses, an e-mail is automatically sent to inform the user of the assignment. These e-mails are sent every time the membership status changes: Sign out or upgrade to course administration.

This is not desirable in many scenarios, e.g. because

  • lecturers would prefer to formulate a different notification themselves than the standardized and non-course-specific customizable text of the automatic e-mail.
  • users are not yet to be informed at the current time, but only at a later date.

For this reason, an option is provided to deactivate the automated sending of e-mails:

Uncheck the Notify members box if you do not want to send an unattractive automatic text at a time you have not selected yourself.  These emails are always annoying and almost never helpful. Lecturers should write these emails themselves and also control the time at which they are sent
