Overview

This plugin deletes inactive user accounts after a certain number of days set by the admin, and sends a mail to the user for login before the deletion date. This cleanup process runs with Moodle cron job.

Setup

1. Set the number of days of inactivity in the first step, which determines when users receive an email after that many days of inactivity. (If set to "0", the cleanup process will be disabled)


2. Next, set the "Days Before Deletion," which is the notice period for inactive users before deletion. (If set to "0", then deletion will be disabled)


3. Draft notification emails for all users from Site administration > Reports > Inactive User Cleanup.


4. If an inactive user is found, they receive the notification email of their removal.

Clean up

1. After receiving the notification email, if the user still has not accessed the Moodle site, the deletion process starts.


2. The particular inactive user account entry is removed with the next run of this cleanup process.


3. This is automatically or manually run by the cron process.
