Nadeemna: /* Updating Your Profile */

Location: ''Administration > Users > Accounts > Add a new user'' or ''Browse list of users'', or by choosing the ''Edit profile'' tab from one's own profile.

==Updating Your Profile ==
{{Moodle 1.8}}
The fields are divided into 3 sections - General, Picture & Optional which are all explained below. Note that some settings are 'advanced', so you may need to click the 'Show Advanced' button on the right to see all the settings. The advanced settings are indicated below.

Remember to click 'Update profile' when you have finished.

=== General ===

The first section contains fields that must be completed:

'''First name & Surname'''

These are self-explanatory. These names will identify you everywhere in your Moodle courses.

'''Email address'''

The email address should be an address that you check regularly. It is used for acknowledgements and announcements from Moodle, including messages from Forums that you are subscribed to. It is also the address that is displayed to other users of Moodle, depending on your 'Email display' setting (below).

'''Email display'''

This controls the visibility of your email address to others. The three settings are self-explanatory but please note 'Hide my email address from everyone' only hides it from students. Teaching staff and other staff with editing access will always be able to see your email address.

'''Email activated'''

You can either enable or disable emails being sent to an address. Note that if this is disabled, you will not receive any email whatsoever from the site. This is not recommend, as you may miss important course-related messages.

'''Email format (advanced)'''

There are two formats: "Pretty HTML format" (messages will be formatted) and "Plain text format" (plain text with no formatting).

'''Email digest type (advanced)'''

This setting determines how you receive any posts from Forums to which you are subscribed, allowing you to receive messages individually or on a daily basis.

'''Forum auto-subscribe (advanced)'''

This setting lets you decide if you want email copies of posts that are added to forums. If you set this to subscribe, the system will automatically email you copies of new posts in forums that you post in, unless you manually override it when posting.

'''Forum tracking (advanced)'''

Enabling forum tracking means highlighting the posts you have not read yet, which should improve your forum navigation.

'''When editing text (advanced)'''

This can usually be left on "Use HTML editor (some browsers only)". This allows for text formatting options, but requires newer browsers. If you find your browser is not letting you edit text, change this setting to "Use standard web forms".

'''AJAX and JavaScript (advanced)'''

This determines whether the Moodle interface will use advanced navigation features such as drag-and-drop, that require AJAX and JavaScript to function. These features can cause problems on some browsers so you might prefer to turn them off.

'''Screen Reader (advanced)'''

If you use a screen reader, this setting should be set to 'Yes'. (A screen reader is a form of 'assistive technology' used by blind and partially-sighted users to interpret what is displayed on the screen).

'''City/town & Country'''

Add your location.

'''Timezone'''

This field is used to convert time-related messages on the system (such as assignment deadlines) from the local timezone (the time in London) to the correct time in whichever zone you have selected.

'''Preferred language and theme (advanced)'''

You can view Moodle in several different languages and colour themes, which you can select via these two options. Note: changing the preferred language only affects the Moodle interface, not the course content!

'''Description'''

In this field you can enter some text about yourself, be it information about your studies, hobbies, qualifications or anything else.

=== Picture ===

This section is optional and allows you to choose your own profile picture. Your current picture is shown, if you have already chosen one.

'''New picture'''

The Browse button allows you to choose a new picture for your profile. Your picture is uploaded when you choose the 'Update Profile' at the bottom of the page.

Your picture will be resized by Moodle when you upload it - to 100 pixels by 100 pixels for the larger view (e.g. in your profile) and 35 pixels by 35 pixels for the smaller view (e.g. on the Forums). If the picture you upload is not square, Moodle will automatically chop the edges off to make it square.

=== Optional ===

There are several optional fields (all advanced) allowing you to add further details to your profile such as contact details and your website.

==Adding a new user==

The add a new user page allows you to manually create a new user account. If you create a test account, you can use a made-up email address.

The required field must be entered before the user will be accepted by Moodle. The required fields in a standard Moodle install are: Username, New password, Surname, Email address, City/town, Select a country.

Other fields that are part of a user's profile can also be filled out when the user is created. Some of the profile fields can be revealed by pressing the "Show Advanced" button.

The new user information is saved by pressing the "Update user" button near the bottom of the form.

Note: You can always create new accounts manually, regardless of which [[Authentication|authentication method]] you are using.

==Updating a user profile==

Users with the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/user:update|moodle/user:update]] are able to update another user's profile i.e. in addition to being able to edit the profile, all settings (username, password, authentication method, force new password etc.) may be changed.

==Account disabling==

An account may be disabled by setting the authentication method to "[[No login]]". The account email may not be used to create another account.

Authentication

2008-05-16T05:58:10Z

Nadeemna: /* Multi-authentication */

Location: ''Administration > Users > Authentication''

==Authentication methods==

One of the first things you need to consider when setting up your Moodle site is user authentication i.e. enabling people to login to your Moodle site.

Authentication methods (also known as authentication plugins) include:

*[[Manual accounts]]
*[[No login]]
*[[Email-based self-registration]]
*[[CAS server (SSO)]]
*[[External database authentication|External database]]
*[[FirstClass authentication|FirstClass server]]
*[[IMAP authentication|IMAP server]]
*[[LDAP authentication|LDAP server]]
*[[Moodle Network|Moodle Network authentication]]
*[[NNTP authentication|NNTP server]]
*[[No authentication]]
*[[PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)]]
*[[POP3 server]]
*[[RADIUS authentication|RADIUS server]]
*[[Shibboleth]]
*[[NTLM authentication|NTLM/Integrated Authentication (3rd party plugin)]]

==Setting the authentication method==
[[Image:authentication plugins.png|thumb|Choosing an authentication plugin]]
To set the authentication method:

#Click on Authentication in the Site Administration block.
#On the authentication page, click on the closed eye icon to enable your chosen authentication plugin. In Moodle 1.8 onwards, you can choose to use more than one authentication method. Use the up/down arrow icons to arrange the plugins in order, with the plugin handling the most logins at the top of the page. This will minimise authentication server load.
#If you have chosen [[Email-based self-registration]], select "Email-based self-registration" from the self registration drop-down menu in the common settings section. Potential users will then be presented with a "Create new account" button on the login page.
#If you have courses with guest access, set the Guest login button to show.
#Click the "Save changes" button.
#Click on Settings opposite the authentication plugin(s) you have chosen.
#Configure the required settings and click the "Save changes" button.

==Multi-authe==
{{Moodle 1.8}}From Moodle 1.8 onwards, multi-authentication is supported. Simply click on the closed eye icon to enable a particular plugin.

Each authentication plugin may be used to find a username/password match. Once found, a user is logged in and alternative plugins are not used. Therefore the plugin which handles the most logins should be moved to the top of the page in order that less load is put on authentication servers.

==Self registration==
If you wish users to be able to create their own user accounts, i.e. self-register, then select Email-based self-registration from the drop-down menu.

==Alternate login URL==
This should be used with care, since a mistake in the URL or on the actual login page can lock you out of your site. If you do mess it up, you can remove the entry from your database (table mdl_config) using, e.g., phpmyadmin for mysql.

==Forgotton password URL==
{{Moodle 1.9}}If your lost password handling is performed entirely outside of Moodle (for example, only by a help desk), you can set the url of that service here. Anybody pressing a "lost password" link in Moodle will be redirected to this URL. Note that this will disable '''all''' of Moodle's lost password recovery options regardless of authentication method(s) in use.

==ReCAPTCHA==
[[Image:New account form with captcha element.png|thumb|New account form with CAPTCHA element]]
A CAPTCHA is a program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer. CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from bots, or automated programs usually written to generate spam. No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.

{{Moodle 1.9}}From Moodle 1.9.1 onwards, spam protection may be added to the [[Email-based self-registration]] new account form with a CAPTCHA element - a challenge-response test used to determine whether the user is human.

ReCAPTCHA keys can be obtained from http://recaptcha.net by [https://admin.recaptcha.net/accounts/signup/?next= signing up for an account] (free) then entering a domain. The public and private keys provided can then be copied and pasted into the ''recaptchapublickey'' and ''recaptchaprivatekey'' fields in the manage authentication common settings, and the changes saved.

In addition to setting reCAPTCHA keys, email-based self-registration should be set as the self registration authentication plugin in the manage authentication common settings and the reCAPTCHA element should be enabled in the [[Email-based self-registration]] settings.

==Locking profile fields==
To prevent users from altering some fields (e.g. students changing profile information to inappropriate or misleading information), the site administrator can lock profile fields.

[[Image:Authent-data-map-fname.jpg|Data Mapping Options]]
*These fields are optional. You can choose to pre-fill some Moodle user fields with information from the LDAP fields that you specify here. If you leave these fields blank, then nothing will be transferred from LDAP and Moodle defaults will be used instead. In either case, the user will be able to edit all of these fields after they log in.
*'''Update local''': If enabled, the field will be updated (from external auth) every time the user logs in or there is a user synchronization. Fields set to update locally should be locked.
*'''Lock value''': If enabled, will prevent Moodle users and admins from editing the field directly. Use this option if you are maintaining this data in the external auth system.
*'''Update external''': If enabled, the external auth will be updated when the user record is updated. Fields should be unlocked to allow edits. Note: Updating external LDAP data requires that you set '''binddn''' and '''bindpw''' to a bind-user with editing privileges to all the user records. It currently does not preserve multi-valued attributes, and will remove extra values on update.

If you are using a mixture of authentication types (such as IMAP and manual), then the fields you lock in the authentication options will only apply to the type of authentication indicated by the drop down box at the top of the screen. Remember to test the field locking by logging in with the proper type of account! If you test with a manual account but have set the field locking to apply to IMAP accounts, you will not be able to tell if it worked!
