Cohort enroller

The role of cohort enroller may be given to a regular editing teacher to allow them to enrol cohorts into their course.

Despite appearances to the contrary, teachers cannot enrol cohorts either via Settings>Course administration>users>Enrolment methods or Settings>Course administration>Users>Enrolled users. See Capabilities/enrol/cohort:config

This custom role will permit teachers to enrol category cohorts into their course. This means therefore that a Head of Science Faculty could enrol cohorts for Biology, Physics and Chemistry courses while not having access to cohorts from other faculties.
