Where do I configure Guest access and Self enrolment?
Guest access is the ability of a user who is not a course
Participant, and who does not have any
Other role (either in the course or in a parent category), to access the course.
Self enrolment is the ability of a user who is not already a course
Participant to enrol himself as a Student in the course.
By default, both
Guest access and
Self enrolment are allowed to authenticated users during the first four weeks of the semester.
This can be changed as follows:
- Click on Users under Course Administration
- Click on Enrolment methods
- Click on the edit icon
of item Guest access or Self enrolment
Guest access
One can:
- Set Allow guest access... to No to disable it entirely
- Set ..to to The world to allow even unauthenticated users to access the course
- Change ..until to shorten or extend the period of time that it is allowed
- Set a Password to force guests to provide a password
Note: A
Guest cannot
participate in the course e.g. submit to an Assignment or post to a Forum.
Self enrolment
One can:
- Set Allow new enrolments to No to disable it entirely
- Set Allow existing enrolments to No to throw out all Students who self-enrolled (and are not yet registered through Minhal Talmidim)
- Change the End date to shorten or extend the period of time that it is allowed.
Note: This also sets the date on which students who self-enrolled (and are not yet registered through Minhal Talimidm) are automatically thrown out.
- Set an Enrolment key to force users who wish to enrol to provide a password
