Keyholder role

The role of Keyholder may be used to set the person named as holding a course enrolment key.

Note that from Moodle 1.8.3 you can specify the role of the keyholder in the Internal enrolment settings, making this tip effectively redundant (although it will still work as described if the keyholder is not set).

Role set-up

1. Access Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles
2. Click the button "Add a new role"
3. Give the role a name e.g. Keyholder, short name and description
4. Change the capability moodle/course:update to allow
5. Click the button "Add a new role"
6. Use the up arrows in the edit column to move the Keyholder role above the Teacher role in the list
7. Go to Site administration > Courses > Enrolments and click the Edit link next to Internal Enrolments. Choose "Keyholder" from the enrol_manual_keyholder dropdown list. Save changes.

Role assignment

1. Access the Assign roles page in a particular course via the Assign roles link in course administration block
2. Choose the Keyholder role to assign
3. Select the user holding the course enrolment key in the potential users list, and use the left-facing arrow button to add it to the existing users list
