==Enrolling a cohort in a course==
==Creating a cohort==


In order to actually enrol users from a Cohort into courses the ''Cohort-Sync'' Enrollment plugin needs to be added to the enrollment methods for the course. The Administrator will first need to enable the ''Cohort-Sync'' enrolment plugin site wide (Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments) and then add it to the required Course (Course administration > Users > Enrolment Methods). At this stage the ''Cohort-Sync'' instance for the course is edited and the appropriate Cohort selected. The role to which the Cohort users are assigned is also selected at this point (typically Student).
Cohorts can be created by site administrators and other users with appropriate permissions.


Visiting the Course administration > Users > Enrolled Users page will show users enrolled via the ''Cohort-Sync'' plugin.
* Access ''Settings > Site administration > Users > Accounts > Cohorts''
 
Note that, by default, a teacher cannot add this plugin to their course. It needs to be configured by an Administrator or a user with the Manager role.
 
 
The required capabilities for setting up a cohort sync are:
* moodle/course:enrolconfig in the course context
* moodle/cohort:config in the course context
* moodle/cohort:view in the same context as category
 
The required capabilities for manually enrolling cohort members are:
* the same as cohort sync (note: this is a bug MDL-28431)
* enrol/manual:enrol in course context
* moodle/course:enrolreview in course context

Cohorts, or site-wide groups, enable all members of a cohort to be enrolled in a course in one action, either manually or synchronised automatically.

Creating a cohort

Cohorts can be created by site administrators and other users with appropriate permissions.
