The category enrolments plugin allows users to be enrolled in a category as opposed to individual courses. The plugin has to be enabled by the site administrator (see Enrolment plugins). The category enrolment plugin will synchronise any role assignments at category context with the capability enrol/category:synchronised set to allow.
Note: It is recommended that Cohort sync is used in preference to category enrolments. There are performance issues with category enrolments. See http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-23840.
