Location: Administration > Courses > Enrolments
Like the upload users tool, this method checks for an enrolment file at the specified location. You can put the file anywhere you want (as long as Moodle can find it), but if you don't specify a location, Moodle will look for the file at .../moodledata/1/enrolments.txt. If you do specify a file path, it should be absolute (eg /var/moodledata/enrolments.txt) and can be read and modified by the webserver process.
If Moodle finds a new file, it will process the data and delete the file afterwards. You can choose to have a log file send to the administrator and to send a notification to teachers and students.
The file should be structured with the action, role, student number (see student profile) and course ID number (see course settings).
The flat file settings page includes information on flat file formatting.
