Rolling Release Updates

This feature is part of Moodle Workplace™, which is available through Moodle Certified Partners and Service Providers only.

This page provides documentation of all improvements in rolling releases. It is expected that these new features will be added to the next major release.

Manually assigned managers in user upload

The Moodle user upload feature has been extended to support manually assigned managers.

Creating manually assigned managers

To add manually assigned managers, two new fields have been implemented, namely manager and managerpermissions, both requiring a postfix. The manager is identified by username and must belong to the same tenant.

managerpermissions can either be specified in human-readable format or using 0-7 notation:

• allocate = 1 (Permission to allocate managed users to programs and certifications)
• reports = 2 (Permission to view reports on managed users)
• notifications = 4 (Permission to receive notifications on managed users)
• all = 7 (default if the field managerpermissions is missing from the CSV file)
• "" = 0

To specify multiple permissions, values can be combined, for example "allocate, reports" (3 in 0-7 notation) or "reports, notifications (6).

username,firstname,lastname,email,manager1,managerpermissions1
manager,User,Manager,manager@example.com,0,0
userone,User,One,userone@example.com,manager,all
usertwo,User,Two,usertwo@example.com,manager,allocate
