== Why limit enrolment plugins to only assign at course level? == | |||
This is the big question I have with this proposal. I think we should allow enrolment plugins to assign roles at any context. This will then allow for external systems to help save time in more scenarios. Two examples I am making up: | |||
* All geography teachers having rights to manage the geography category, | |||
* All students of class 11C & 11B being given moderator rights for a forum | |||
If the teacher can then assign these roles by choosing the global groups rather than individually selecting the students this will be a great advantage, save time etc. Limiting the enrolment plugins to only deal with courses limits a lot of future scenarios where having this facility at any context would be advantageous. | |||
