Moodle provides a number of ways of managing course enrolment, called enrolment plugins.

Setting the enrolment method(s)

To set an enrolment method:

Click on Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins.
Click on the enable checkboxes opposite your chosen enrolment plugin(s). If you wish, you may choose more than one enrolment method. For example if you have some courses which students must pay for and some free courses, you can use PayPal and self enrolment.
Click the "Save changes" button.
Click the settings link opposite the enrolment plugin(s) you have chosen.
Configure the required settings and click the "Save changes" button.
Repeat until you have edited all the plugins you have enabled.

The order in which enrolment plugins are applied can be set. This may be important for some plugins. It also affects the order of enrolment options on the course enrol page.

+Moodle provides a number of ways of managing course enrolment, called ''enrolment plugins''.

-==Managing course enrolments==
+==Setting the enrolment method(s)==
-There are several ways to manage course enrolments (or enrollments).  These are called '''Enrolment plugins''' and include:
-:[[Authorize.net Payment Gateway]]
-:[[External database]]
-:[[Flat file]]
-:[[Internal enrolment]] (default)
-:[[IMS Enterprise]] (from 1.6 onwards)
-:[[LDAP enrolment|LDAP]]
-:[[Paypal]]
-:[[Moodle Network]] (from 1.8 onwards)
-:[[Enrolment/OSCommerce|OSCommerce]] (non-standard)
-==Multi-enrolment==
+To set an enrolment method:
-{{Moodle 1.6}}From Moodle 1.6 onwards,  multi-enrolment is supported, with one plugin set as the default plugin for interactive enrolment.
+#Click on ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins''.
+#Click on the ''enable'' checkboxes opposite your chosen enrolment plugin(s). If you wish, you may choose more than one enrolment method. For example if you have some courses which students must pay for and some free courses, you can use PayPal and self enrolment.
+#Click the "Save changes" button.
+#Click the settings link opposite the enrolment plugin(s) you have chosen.
+#Configure the required settings and click the "Save changes" button.
+#Repeat until you have edited all the plugins you have enabled.
-==Interactive enrolment==
+The order in which enrolment plugins are applied can be set. This may be important for some plugins. It also affects the order of enrolment options on the course enrol page.
-Interactive enrolment triggers only when a user tries to enrol on a course. The user has to do something interactively in order to be enrolled, such as clicking "Yes, I do" ([[Internal enrolment]]), or paying some money ([[Authorize.net Payment Gateway]], [[Paypal]]).
+==Enrolment capabilities==
-The interactive enrolment plugin for a particular course may be selected on the [[Course settings]] page.
+Category enrolments:
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/category:synchronised|Role assignments synchronised to course enrolment]]
-==Login-time enrolment lookups==
+Cohort sync:
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/cohort:config|Configure cohort instances]]
-Login-time enrolment lookups perform a lookup against an LDAP/AD,  database or SIS server. You can have several plugins set to perform login-time lookups.
+Guest access:
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/guest:config|Configure guest access instances]]
-==Unenrolment==
+LDAP enrolments:
-Unenrolment may be controlled by the following:
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/ldap:manage|Manage LDAP enrol instances]]
-* The ''longtimenosee'' variable in ''Administration > Configuration > [[Variables]]'' (or ''Administration > Server > Cleanup'' in 1.8), which specifies the time limit for which, if students haven't logged in, they are unenrolled from courses.
-* The ''Enrolment duration'' in the [[Settings|course settings]], which unenrols students after the specified time has elapsed.
+Manual enrolments:
-* Enrolment plugins may decide that the enrolment has expired; for example, if it is not present or current in an LDAP, Database or SIS server.
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/manual:config|Configure manual enrol instances]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/manual:enrol|Enrol users]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/manual:manage|Manage user enrolments]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/manual:unenrol|Unenrol users from the course]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/manual:unenrolself|Unenrol self from the course]]
+Course meta link:
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/meta:config|Configure meta enrol instances]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/meta:selectaslinked|Select course as meta linked]]
+PayPal:
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/paypal:config|Configure PayPal enrol instances]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/paypal:manage|Manage enrolled users]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/paypal:unenrol|Unenrol users from course]]
+*[[Capabilities/enrol/paypal:unenrolself|Unenrol self from the course]]
+Self enrolment:
