This is part of the 5.1.1 release of the Microsoft 365 Moodle plugin suite for Moodle 5.1, version v20260423_m501

Complete Release Note: https://github.com/microsoft/o365-moodle/releases/tag/v20260423_m501

Security issue fixes:

• 
  

  Prevent OAuth token from being sent to unvalidated URL in local_o365 plugin:

  
  

  The change addresses a vulnerability where OAuth Bearer tokens could be inadvertently sent to unvalidated, user-supplied URLs when downloading files. The fix works by deprecating the existing get_file_by_url() method (which passed the OAuth token) and introducing a new get_file_by_url_unauthenticated() method that first validates the URL against a whitelist of trusted Microsoft domains (graph.microsoft.com, *.sharepoint.com, etc.) before downloading using a plain cURL request without any auth token. In the repository plugin, the download flow for "trending around" files is also updated to first fetch the file's metadata from the Microsoft Graph API using a trusted file ID, then use the pre-authenticated @microsoft.graph.downloadUrl from the response — ensuring OAuth tokens are never exposed to unvalidated URLs.

  
  

Major changes in this release:

• 
  

  User sync task performance optimisation, funded by UCL | University College London (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/).

  
  
  
  
  • Performance Improvements
    
    
    
    • Rewrote the main user sync to process users in batches as they arrive, reducing memory usage.
    
    
    • Replaced per-user DB queries with bulk queries throughout the sync process.
    
    
    • Stripped unused fields from Microsoft Graph API list-users responses.
    
    
    • Moved timezone and photo sync to bulk operations instead of per-user processing.
    
    
    • Further refinements to the photo and timezone sync task after extraction.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Suspend/Delete User Handling
    
    
    
    • Replaced user_update_user() with set_field() for suspended users, reducing number of DB queries when suspending user.
    
    
    • Used a temporary DB table to compare large sets of Moodle and Entra users, avoiding in-memory comparisons that could take hours on large tenants.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Task Decomposition
    
    
    
    • Extracted photo and timezone sync into its own dedicated scheduled task (photoandtimezonesync).
    
    
    • Extracted user enabled/status sync into its own dedicated scheduled task (userenabledstatussync).
    
    
    • The main usersync task is now leaner, with responsibilities split across three tasks.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Bug Fixes & Security
    
    
    
    • Fixed a DB injection vulnerability in user sync logic.
    
    
    • Removed redundant logic and added manual event triggering.
    
    
    • Fixed an edge case where timezone sync on login would fail for users with no Outlook timezone setting.
    
    
    • Additional bug fixes to usersync/main.php and unified.php with a supporting DB schema upgrade in auth/oidc.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  Enhance SDS sync features.

  
  
  
  
  • Course Creation & Categorisation
    
    
    
    • Added support for course start/end dates sourced from SDS term data, with automatic updates when dates change in SDS.
    
    
    • Added subject-based course categorisation — courses can optionally be placed in subject subcategories (extracted from externalName or classCode fields) under the school category, rather than directly under the school.
    
    
    • Added filtering for expired courses, skippable by either a configurable prefix (e.g. Exp) or past end date.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Settings Redesign
    
    
    
    • Redesigned and rationalised the SDS sync settings page — removed confusing or redundant options, renamed and consolidated language strings for clarity.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • New Sync Options (Admin-Configurable)
    
    
    
    • Two-way course sync toggle (sdsenablecoursesync): Administrators can now opt in to associating SDS classes with M365 groups for two-way Teams/course sync; previously this was always enabled.
    
    
    • Suspend/resume enrolments (sdssuspendenrolments): Added option to suspend rather than remove enrolments when a user is removed from an SDS class.
    
    
    • Cohort management (sdscreatecohorts): Added ability to create and sync Moodle cohorts from SDS classes, enabling site-wide grouping independent of course enrolment; teacher inclusion is separately configurable via sdscohortincludeteachers.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Bug Fixes & Performance
    
    
    
    • Fixed DB query issues and performance problems in the main SDS sync loop.
    
    
    • Fixed subcategory creation when the subject-based categorisation feature is active.
    
    
    • Fixed handling of re-enabling sync on a school that had previously been synced then disabled.
    
    
    • Refined course name prefix check logic.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  Course sync and cohort sync task optimisation.

  
  
  
  
  • Database Schema Consolidation
    
    
    
    • Dropped the separate local_o365_teams_cache table and merged its data into local_o365_groups_cache.
    
    
    • Extended local_o365_groups_cache with new fields: has_team, url, locked, team_details_last_attempted, lock_status_last_checked, plus supporting indexes.
    
    
    • DB upgrade script migrates existing data from the old table into the unified one.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Unified Cache Update Logic
    
    
    
    • Rewrote utils::update_groups_cache() to handle both M365 groups and Teams in a single API pass, replacing two separate cache-update calls in the course sync task.
    
    
    • Added 5-minute rate limiting to prevent excessive API calls; the cohort sync task now correctly proceeds (rather than aborting) when a rate-limit skip occurs.
    
    
    • Team details (URL) are fetched lazily — only once — while lock status is re-checked every 7 days, reducing unnecessary API calls.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Upsert & Demotion Behaviour
    
    
    
    • When a group is promoted to a team, the existing group row is updated in place (has_team=1) rather than inserting a new row, preventing duplicates.
    
    
    • When a team is no longer a team, the row is demoted (has_team=0, team fields cleared) rather than deleted, preserving the underlying group data.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Deprecation & Cleanup
    
    
    
    • update_teams_cache() in coursesync/main.php is deprecated (documented, no longer called by production code); all internal references updated to query local_o365_groups_cache with has_team=1.
    
    
    • Admin UI and all other table references updated to use the unified cache table.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  

Other changes in this release:

• Improve processing of suspend/delete users feature.


• Sync transitive members instead of only direct members in cohort sync.


• Review riskbitmask for capabilities in local_o365 plugin.


• Create unit tests for a few files in local_o365 plugin.


• Allow syncing hidden courses and improve sync UI.


• Improvements in logic to delete invalid log entries.


• Cast cohortid to int to prevent TypeError.


• Bug fix in group creation API call where wrong group name is set.


• Teams SSO improvements.


• Prevent closure serialisation error in debug backtrace.


• Prevent unnecessary precision change in upgrade script.


• Move observer triggered team owner/member sync for individual users to ad-hoc tasks.


• Rename teams app to avoid validation error.


• Add cross platform support to PowerShell script to create Azure app.


• Upgrade Teams SDK to v2.47.2 and migrate from ADAL to MSAL v3.30.0.


• Update PowerShell script to set correct Application ID URI in the Azure app.


• Fix error in default $caller value in cohortsync get_unified_api() function.


• Fix typo.

    • Two-way course sync toggle (sdsenablecoursesync): Administrators can now opt in to associating SDS classes with M365 groups for two-way Teams/course sync; previously this was always enabled.
    
    
    • Suspend/resume enrolments (sdssuspendenrolments): Added option to suspend rather than remove enrolments when a user is removed from an SDS class.
    
    
    • Cohort management (sdscreatecohorts): Added ability to create and sync Moodle cohorts from SDS classes, enabling site-wide grouping independent of course enrolment; teacher inclusion is separately configurable via sdscohortincludeteachers.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Bug Fixes & Performance
    
    
    
    • Fixed DB query issues and performance problems in the main SDS sync loop.
    
    
    • Fixed subcategory creation when the subject-based categorisation feature is active.
    
    
    • Fixed handling of re-enabling sync on a school that had previously been synced then disabled.
    
    
    • Refined course name prefix check logic.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• 
  

  Course sync and cohort sync task optimisation.

  
  
  
  
  • Database Schema Consolidation
    
    
    
    • Dropped the separate local_o365_teams_cache table and merged its data into local_o365_groups_cache.
    
    
    • Extended local_o365_groups_cache with new fields: has_team, url, locked, team_details_last_attempted, lock_status_last_checked, plus supporting indexes.
    
    
    • DB upgrade script migrates existing data from the old table into the unified one.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Unified Cache Update Logic
    
    
    
    • Rewrote utils::update_groups_cache() to handle both M365 groups and Teams in a single API pass, replacing two separate cache-update calls in the course sync task.
    
    
    • Added 5-minute rate limiting to prevent excessive API calls; the cohort sync task now correctly proceeds (rather than aborting) when a rate-limit skip occurs.
    
    
    • Team details (URL) are fetched lazily — only once — while lock status is re-checked every 7 days, reducing unnecessary API calls.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Upsert & Demotion Behaviour
    
    
    
    • When a group is promoted to a team, the existing group row is updated in place (has_team=1) rather than inserting a new row, preventing duplicates.
    
    
    • When a team is no longer a team, the row is demoted (has_team=0, team fields cleared) rather than deleted, preserving the underlying group data.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Deprecation & Cleanup
    
    
    
    • update_teams_cache() in coursesync/main.php is deprecated (documented, no longer called by production code); all internal references updated to query local_o365_groups_cache with has_team=1.
    
    
    • Admin UI and all other table references updated to use the unified cache table.

This is part of the 3.11.3 release of the Microsoft 365 Moodle plugin suite for Moodle 3.11, version v20220411_m311.

Complete Release Note: https://github.com/microsoft/o365-moodle/releases/tag/v20220411_m311

NOTE - This is a major upgrade of the plugins, and requires Azure app changes. Refer to this page for Azure app change details.

Changes in the local_o365 plugin in this release include:

• Teams Classes LTI app support: Major change in the Moodle course and Microsoft Teams integration feature to support Teams Classes LTI.


• Drop "System API user" connection method: The only connection method supported going forward is application access.


• Multi-tenant SSO alternative domain name support: Support login of additional tenant users whose UPN contains non-initial domain names.


• Other bug fixes and small changes.

Teams Classes LTI app support

This release contains a complete rewrite of the course sync feature in the plugins. The main changes include:

• Renamed the "Create user groups in Microsoft 365" (\local_o365\task\groupcreate) scheduled task to "Sync Moodle courses to Microsoft Teams" (\local_o365\task\coursesync).


• The option to sync a Moodle course to groups only but not Teams is removed. If a sync of a course is enabled, it will always sync to a group, and a Team if a suitable owner is found.


• The decision whether to create a standard team or a class team is controlled by whether the hosting tenant has an education license, rather than configuration setting made by Moodle site admin. The check to determine whether the hosting tenant has an education license is performed automatically by the plugin using Graph API calls.


• The Graph APIs used to create/update/archive/delete groups/teams connected to Moodle courses, as well as those used to manage initial and subsequent group/team ownership/membership changes, are all updated according to LMS integration guidelines provided by Microsoft. Notably, the integration will always create a group first, and try to create a Team from the group when appropriate Team owner is found.


• If the hosting tenant has an education license, additional education specific attributes will be stamped in the group created, which will allow Moodle users use the Teams Classes LTI app by adding the Team as an external tool in the course using mod_lti.

NOTE this requires several configuration changes in both local_o365 settings and Azure app permissions. Refer to this page for Azure app change details.

Drop "System API user" connection method

The support for "System API user" connection method has officially ended since this release. The decision was made for two main reasons:

• Increasing number of Graph APIs used in the integration support only application permissions, which effectively means the feature cannot be achieved if "System API user" connection is selected, which would depend on delegated permissions.


• Using the "System API user" connections for Teams integration has the unexpected outcomes that the system API user is added as owner of all Teams created.
  Most Moodle site should be using "Application access" connection method now, which are unaffected by this change. For those sites currently using "System API user" connection method, site admins will be given the chance to make the change. Changes in Azure app permissions may be required as part of the migration.

Multi-tenant SSO alternative domain name support

Previously SSO integration for additional tenants stores only the original domain name of the additional tenants (the one used when creating the tenant), and if users from the additional tenants are created using UPN other than the original domain name, the users are not being recognised in the multi-tenant SSO process.

This release introduces a change to save the ID of the additional tenant, along with all registered domains, so that users from additional tenants can be recognised regardless the domain name in their UPN.

NOTE this requires Moodle site admins updating multi-tenant configurations.

Bug fixes and small changes

• Improvement in handling sync of Outlook calendar all day events into Moodle.


• Fix error output on the SDS sync configuration page when Moodle and Microsoft 365 integration is not fully configured.


• Update the logic used to allow only one run of user suspension/deletion part in the user sync task.


• Prevent duplicate user mapping records being create.


• Bug fix in the Graph API call to list teams.


• Bug fix in the observer function to delete group/team when the connected Moodle course is deleted.


• Bug fix in database queries handling empty return values in SDS and user sync features.


• Fix broken upgrade script in the local_o365 plugin.


• Move profile photo sync and timezone sync from block_microsoft to observer functions in local_o365.


• Bug fix in handling response in some Graph API calls that paginate response values using skip tokens.


• Force a user sync task run after the Azure application ID site configuration is updated, in order to rebuild user connection records.


• Prevent various local_o365 scheduled tasks from failing when the Moodle and Microsoft 365 integration is not fully configured.


• Update PowerShell script to create new Azure app with required permissions.


• Update validation of the sync of language profile fields in user sync.


• Clean up old SDS schools disabled for sync.


• Remove hardcoded role checks in bot question implementations.


• Add missing delegated permission check required by the calendar sync.


• Fix UI for the "Provide admin consent" button on local_o365 configuration page.

Complete Release Note

The most significant change in this release is moving the user field mapping feature from the local_o365 plugin to the auth_oidc plugin, and integrate it with the Moodle default field mapping feature.

• All previous settings are automatically migrated.


• The remote fields available for mapping depend on whether the local_o365 plugin is configured on the Moodle site - if it's not configured, only profile fields available in user ID token can be mapped; otherwise many other fields returned in Graph API calls can be mapped.


• After the move, some native Moodle user profile mapping features, such as field locking, can be applied.

Other changes include:

• Add option to reset group/team without creating new ones when resetting a Moodle course connected to group/team.


• Fix a bug in checking user creation conditions on group membership where indirect group memberships are not recognised.


• Fix a bug in which user sync attempts to create duplicate users sometimes.


• Fix a bug in user sync where guest users are synced regardless of the status of the guest user sync option setting.


• Improve handling of Microsoft account upn changes.


• Fix a bug in conflicts between user sync options.


• Fix a bug where incorrect Shared Moodle Secret is generated when deploying Teams bot.


• Improve handling of error "Mismatch between usernames and userids" in user login.


• Reduce the number of DB query parameters when processing user sync batches to avoid DB error.


• Skip mandatory authentication method change for Moodle users using other auth methods who manually created connection with Microsoft account.


• Apply "sync new course by default" settings to restored courses.


• Improve error handling syncing timezone in user sync.


• Raise memory limit in user sync.


• Fix a bug in syncing office phone number profile field.


• Fix a bug in syncing preferred name profile field.


• Fix a bug in processing user sync task when email match is used and duplicate email address exists.


• Handle delay in provisioning Moodle Teams app when creating a Team for a connected course.


• Fix a bug in which the local_o365 configuration tab parameter is added to the URL of other admin configuration pages.


• Update Moodle Teams app icon to comply with Teams app icon requirements.

Complete Release Note

The most significant change in this release is moving the user field mapping feature from the local_o365 plugin to the auth_oidc plugin, and integrate it with the Moodle default field mapping feature.

• All previous settings are automatically migrated.


• The remote fields available for mapping depend on whether the local_o365 plugin is configured on the Moodle site - if it's not configured, only profile fields available in user ID token can be mapped; otherwise many other fields returned in Graph API calls can be mapped.


• After the move, some native Moodle user profile mapping features, such as field locking, can be applied.

Other changes include:

• Add option to reset group/team without creating new ones when resetting a Moodle course connected to group/team.


• Fix a bug in checking user creation conditions on group membership where indirect group memberships are not recognised.


• Fix a bug in which user sync attempts to create duplicate users sometimes.


• Fix a bug in user sync where guest users are synced regardless of the status of the guest user sync option setting.


• Improve handling of Microsoft account upn changes.


• Fix a bug in conflicts between user sync options.


• Fix a bug where incorrect Shared Moodle Secret is generated when deploying Teams bot.


• Improve handling of error "Mismatch between usernames and userids" in user login.


• Reduce the number of DB query parameters when processing user sync batches to avoid DB error.


• Skip mandatory authentication method change for Moodle users using other auth methods who manually created connection with Microsoft account.


• Apply "sync new course by default" settings to restored courses.


• Improve error handling syncing timezone in user sync.


• Raise memory limit in user sync.


• Fix a bug in syncing office phone number profile field.


• Fix a bug in syncing preferred name profile field.


• Fix a bug in processing user sync task when email match is used and duplicate email address exists.


• Handle delay in provisioning Moodle Teams app when creating a Team for a connected course.


• Fix a bug in which the local_o365 configuration tab parameter is added to the URL of other admin configuration pages.
