  • A peer can be linked to only one remote Moodle repository instance

  • Only people with roles that have "Roam to a remote Moodle moodle/site:mnetlogintoremote" will see the Remote Moodle repository into the file picker (See Moodle Networking)
  • Remote repository display content as the Local repository plugin does. (The remote Moodle plugin behave exactly as if the user was using the file picker in Local => no enrolment into a course from the file picker)
