| Assigning or overriding [[Roles]] in a [[Context]] is the primary way to manage users on a Moodle site.
| |
| | |
| The initial way a user is managed is by site authentication. Generally speaking, this means the user tells the Moodle site their user name and password, Moodle checks its user account information and decides if they are valid users and gives them their initial role.
| |
| | |
| There are many ways to set up authentications of users by the site administrator. These range from:
| |
| *Allowing visitor to create their own user account, to
| |
| *Linking to other web services that pass a token to the Moodle site with basic account information for authentication and couree enrolment
| |
| *Manual addition site users either one at a time or via a flat file, and
| |
| *Other options.
| |
| | |
| Guests are a special class of users, who have not been authenticated but who maybe allowed to view parts or all of a Moodle site.
