AutoEnrol

Hi, Can the plug-in auto-enroll an LDAP user into a cohort at first login? The courses are already assigned to a cohort .. . I'd just like to assign a new user to the cohort. Thanks in advance!

Self enrolment has a configuration property "Unenrol inactive after" that unenrols users after specified days ot inactivity. Having a similar configuration here also will be helpful.

Thanks for this wonderful plugin, Mark and Roberto.
It does exactly what I want it to: automatically enrol users on to a course when they log in for the first time.

Hi David,
no, at this time.
The self enrolment plugin define an enrolment duration and I think that we can add it to autoenrol in the next release.

Hi guys! First of all, thank you very much for your work. Really useful, you're very kind sharing it with the community. I wanted to ask you if there's a way to set the unenrollment date for the users that are auto-enrolled with your plugin, like it's possible with the "default" enrolment methods. In case not, are you planning to include this feature? I think could be of great use for many Moodle Admins. Cheers!

It works like a charm!
I struggled with the User Filtering because I didn't found easily the short name for self registered authentication method, so I think it´s usefull to say that it is: "email". I´m using it to autonerol new self auto-registered users in a wellcome course so they don´t start with a blank list.

Hi Safeen,
autoenrol filter do not use star as special char.
You can enter 20@mydomain.com for students but you can't use a valid filter to match only teachers.
I think you can enrol teachers with an other enrolment plugin or using user upload. It depends on what is your procedure to create courses.

Hi,
Thank you for the great plugin and the help on the form.
I am trying to auto enrol students and teachers.
Our students emails have been formated based on the year they joined the school as in: ab1220@mydomain.com (the 20 is indicating they joined the school in 2020).
The teachers have their firstname.lastname@mydomain.com
So I am trying to auto enrol students on their respective courses. Can I auto enrol all 2020 cohort students on a course by entering *20@mydomain.com?
And modules aimed at teachers, can I enrol them by entering *.*@mydomain.com?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello Scott,
it depends by the shortname chosen for your field. Probably it contains non alphabetic chars.
There was a bug in autoenrol field type check that clean non alphabetic chars.
Now I fixed that bug on github, you can already download it.
Thanks,
Roberto

Hello, I need help. Well, technically, a colleague needs help. She has created a field, in the field the person can have AB, AC, AD. Or they can have a combination of AB and AC, or AB and AD. When she separates these do they need a comma or semi-colon. Also, when she saves the auto-enrolment method, it does not save the field that it is supposed to pull from. Any thoughts?

Hello Oleg,
I fixed it.
You can get it on github.
Thanks,
Roberto

Hello.
I found some unexpected behaviour in plugin.
After any user logins sync_user_enrolments method is called. It takes all instances of AutoEnrol and try to enrol current user with them, if user fits the instance rules.
But method takes even disabled instances - so user could be enrolled in course even if AutoEnrol instance disabled in this course.
Could you please check it?
Thanks,
Oleg.

Hi there,
I've set the AutoEnrol plugin up on a course, with default settings, and it's the first enrolment method in the course (amongst a few others).
But users cannot get past the enrol screen.
I was hoping to use it to auto-enrol just the people with a particular email domain (eg. @cabi.org). Is that not possible?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I think you can use a couple of instances of cohort sync enrolment plugin to do that.
Adding it to autoenrol feel like a duplication of features.

Hi there,
This is a really useful plugin. Thanks.
I am wondering how it might be adapted so that only members of one or more cohorts are allowed to access a particular course?
Our use cases are:
1) All users should be able to access certain courses, eg. Course 101 & Course 102
2) Users in Cohort A should be able to access Course 101, Course 102 and Course 201
3) Users in Cohort B should be able to access Course 101, Course 102, Course 201 and Course 301
My thinking is that we'd need to add a filter to the plugin which looked for cohort membership. And provide course admins with a tick list of cohorts for which to allow enrolment.
But I've no idea how complex that would be to implement in the current plugin?
Thanks,
Mark
