version 2018041344:

The first iteration of the plugin. Requires Moodle 3.5

ABOUT

This plugin for Moodle allows calling the privacy api user data deletion via a web-service call.
Use it with caution as it really deletes all the user data in the system. It does not send any notifications to the users involved.

The plugin uses moodle web-service layer and the web-service call is the same as for any other moodle web-services.
(example: https://yoursite/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=opensesame&wsfunction=local_gdpr_deleteuserdata_single
&moodlewsrestformat=json&parameters[userid]=23)

The web-service call takes as parameter the moodle userid. It requires : moodle/user:delete permission.
Advisable steps to set up the web-service:

1. create a blank new role at the system level;


2. add moodle/user:delete permission;


3. create a user that will be able to run this web-service;


4. add the user to the role created in step 1;


5. create a token for our new user/gdpr_deleteuserdata web-service.

In case there is a need to add the web-service as core web-service this line needs to be added:
'services' => array(MOODLE_OFFICIAL_MOBILE_SERVICE),
in services.php

SETTINGS

This local plugin allows you to configure: nothing for the moment.
