Workplace plugins

Compatibility

Like Moodle LMS, Moodle Workplace can be extended via plugins. While there is a high degree of compatibility between the two systems, special consideration has to be given to contributed plugins from Moodle LMS.

Plugins and multi-tenancy

One of the key advancements of Moodle Workplace is the ability to support multi-tenancy. All Moodle Workplace tools are multi-tenant-aware, and thus, plugins also have to support multi-tenancy to work correctly in Moodle Workplace.

As a rule of thumb, Moodle LMS plugins work in Moodle Workplace if they don't collide with multi-tenancy. For example, activity modules don't support multi-tenancy and should work as-is, whereas authentication plugins have to be adapted since tenants are multi-tenant-aware.

Extended workplace support (TITLE?)

Plugins supporting Workplace specific features also require some attention. SAML2 is a good example since it has been extended to work in a Moodle Workplace fully.

Any theme-related extensions fall into the same category since Moodle Workplace uses a different core theme than Moodle Workplace.

"Workplace Ready" badge

Every time you see a "Workplace ready" badge, you can be sure that the plugin will work with the supported version of Moodle Workplace. You can find a list of all "Workplace ready" badges in Moodle plugin database.
