Multi-tenant authentication
The main feature of this release is the introduction of multi-tenant authentication plugins. We’ve put in place all the tools needed to make authentication plugins tenant aware, and made multi-tenant the two most used core plugins: Email-based self-registration and OAuth2.
Now it’s possible to set different authentication configurations for each tenant in a Workplace site, including the availability of plugins or changing the settings for the same plugin in different tenants.
Per-tenant authentication plugins
Selected authentication settings such as authentication instructions and allowed domains can be overridden for individual tenants. Site administrators are also able to force some settings for all tenants. Tenant admin can override common settings or settings for multi-tenant auth plugins in their tenant using the new Authentication tab in the Users page.
Multi-tenant auth plugins
Email-based self-registration and OAuth2 are now multi-tenant. Global administrator or tenant administrator can enable/disable these plugins on a tenant level and override their settings. When a new user signs up from a tenant-specific login page their account is automatically registered inside this tenant.
Reports are available now in the Shared Space and can be shared with all tenants or be only accessible to users with access to the shared space. This feature enables users to use the same report definition site-wide without duplicating the same reports in all tenants. It also allows creating cross-tenant reports. When a shared report is viewed from inside the tenant it only displays the users and entities from this tenant. When a shared report is viewed from Shared space it shows information from all tenants.
Migration
Full site content migration
Now it’s possible to migrate all the site content including all tenants in the system and all the courses with user data. This feature uses all the chained exporters and importers we introduced in the previous releases.
Dynamic rules
Tenant-allocation action
Use this action to move users between tenants or combine it with different conditions to automatically allocate new users to specific tenants.
User creation condition
These conditions allow selecting existing users depending on their creation date.
Authentication method condition
Define new rules for users depending on the authentication methods that are used by them.
Improved options in 'Notification' action
When a user is notified, we can send a copy of the notification to their respective department leads and/or managers.
Dashboard
New Workplace native users list page
Revamped users page with the list of all users on the site with the tenant information, bulk actions, and filters.
Filter and sorting for programs and courses in 'Learning' tab
Users can now filter courses and programs by their completion statuses and sort them by date, name, or last accessed.
The launcher is now clearly organised by tools that belong to the current tenant and 'global' ones, which affect the whole site.
Workplace theme
Tenant reset to accessibility standard
Now it's possible to reset the tenant's appearance in case changes in its appearance compromise the site accessibility.

Programs and certifications
Bulk actions for users allocated on programs/certifications
Program and Certification users allocations can now be all edited at once. Available bulk actions for allocations are: Edit status and dates, Reset users program and De-allocate users.
Dynamic rules
Dynamic rules UI improvements
Rules that are not completely based on events and, therefore, are not instant, are now marked as "Scheduled tasks" in the UI. Also, new filters had been added, making it easier to look for existing rules.
Multi-tenancy
When a user is moved to another tenant, it's correspondent enrolments in all shared programs are kept and course groups are changed accordingly.
Report builder
Improved report filters container design
The new filters look much cleaner and take less space on the screen.
3.10.2
Read on for Moodle Workplace 3.10.2 highlights. Full details of the release with technical information can be found in the Moodle Workplace 3.10.2 release notes.
Multi-tenancy
Tenant selector on the login/signup page
We’ve introduced a new site selector on the login and signup pages to help the user to select the correct tenant on the authentication page. The selector can be enabled at a site level, and each tenant’s visibility in the selector can be configured in tenant settings.
Configure OAuth2 services per tenant
OAuth2 services can now be made available in all or some tenants only.
Configure manual authentication plugin setting individually for each tenant
It’s now possible for admins to override the Lock user fields settings for the manual auth methods for individual tenants.
Limit number of users
Now it’s possible to set this limit per tenant and site-wide.
An Organisation Structure can now be created in the Shared Space to be used across all tenants. Jobs can be assigned to users in their tenants using shared Departments and Positions, and when moving users between tenants, jobs using shared departments and positions will be moved along.
Organisation structure
Teams and Jobs UI improvements
The teams' table was redesigned to improve its readability and the overall look and feel.
Programs and Certifications
Bulk allocation to Programs and Certification from the users list
We’ve added two new actions to the User list report to allocate users to programs and certifications
