Introduction
This document is about functional specification for Moodle Repository Plugin (also referenced as Remote Moodle Repository Plugin). The Moodle Repository plugin allows a user to browse a foreign Moodle site in the File Picker. The user sees all the raw files he has access to there.
Requirements
- Moodle administrator set which Moodle peer will be available into the file picker (one remote Moodle repository instance = one peer)
- A peer can be linked to only one remote Moodle repository instance
- Administrator need to have Enable SSO-IDP publish and subscribe, and SSO-SP publish and subscribe for the peer ???
- Administrator can change the name and peer of a remote repository instance
- Administrator can add/delete a remote repository instance
- Administrator can add/delete remote repository plugin
- A teacher cannot set a remote Moodle repository at the course level
- Moodle user cannot set a remote Moodle repository at personal level
- Only people with roles that have "Roam to a remote Moodle moodle/site:mnetlogintoremote" will see the Remote Moodle repository into the file picker (See Moodle Networking)
- Remote repository display content as the Local repository plugin does. (The remote Moodle plugin behave exactly as if the user was using the file picker in Local => no enrolment into a course from the file picker)
