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.
Creating a new role
- As an administrator, go to Settings>Site administration>Users>Permissions>Define roles and click the "Add a new role" button.
- Give the role a name and assign it to the category context.
- Filter to see entries connected with "cohort" and allow them all.
- Click the "Create this role" button.
Assigning the role to a teacher
- As an administrator, go to the category page, for example http://YOURMOODLESITE/course/category.php?id=1
- In Settings>Assign roles, assign the role of Cohort enroller to the required course teacher.
- When the teacher returns to their course, they will be able to add the "cohort sync" method in Settings>Course administration>Enrolment methods and will also see the "Enrol cohort" button in Settings>Course administration>Users>Enrolled users.
