The role of Course requester may be used to limit users who can make course requests.

By default, all authenticated users can make course requests. To change this:

  1. Access Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles.
  2. Edit the authenticated user role and change the capability moodle/course:request from allow to not set.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the 'Save changes' button.

Role set-up

  1. Access Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles.
  2. Click the button "Add a new role".
  3. Give the role a name e.g. Course requester, short name and description.
  4. Change the capability moodle/course:request to allow.
  5. Click the button "Add a new role".

Note: It is necessary to create a new role, rather than simply changing the capability for the teacher role, because it needs to be assigned as a system role. (The role of teacher is generally assigned in the course or course category context.)

Role assignment

  1. Access Administration > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles.
  2. Choose the course requester role to assign.
  3. Select a user in the potential users list, and use the left-facing arrow button to add it to the existing users list.
