no mail if user was added to group

[Former user]

Reported by sven: No mail will be send if a user has been added to a group.

A group administrator can add many users as member to a group without a user is notified about this. With that it is possible that every member in a group can see all private publication copies of all members of all public publication references.

Commented by dbe: Hi Sven,

we are aware of this "feature" - that's the reason why we currently do not allow everyone to be a group admin, because being group admin is quite a position within BibSonomy which requires a certain amount of trust (mainly because of the private documents feature).

The best solution would probably be to require a kind of confirmation from the user which is being added - but we'll have to see when we have the resources to implement that.

maybe this becomes relevant for the new group concept

Resolved with the new groups concept

@thoni: Do you get an email if you are added to a group after requesting to join the group?

[Thomas Niebler]

No, but that's not the point here, as I see it, since we talk about a user being added, not requesting to join.

[Daniel Zoller]

please check if the user gets an email when

1. an admin accepts a group join request
2. the user is invited by a group admin
