Roles and permissions

I was wondering if you might not take a crack at how one could use the bulk user upload to further streamline this. Once the table was made I would think one could add the additional field to the upload template and link via name....

I know anthony is too busy to re-write this code. However, it appears both Anthony and Justin already made it work in the mass parent creation and assign parent modules. I really need this to work but don't understand how to create the sql table it reads from or where to place this php.

My situation has changed dramatically. Our moodle courses were opened up to many more students than I had expected. Plus, my main IT admin could not tell me which students are going to use our Moodle course and which will homeschool on their own (why I am trying to understand). I was recieving so many emails (50 a day) from frustrated users with no username/login that I had to import EVERY student 7th to 12th. That way any errors are user errors knowing how to login. I automate this weekly now and create parents accounts with their same name for ease of finding the right one to attach. (stu_johnsmith and Par_johnsmith)

That's over 2000 users now! It's painful attaching them manually. Plus I have to attach teachers to all of them so they too can check on their students. Now they want to add 6th too! Currently I am so overwhelmed with emails that I can only do a handful of attachments at a time. I trained a secretary to help but she is limited on time too. I sort by most recently logged in assuming those not using it don't need this feature yet and won't complain.

Please help me understand how to make this php plugin work or a way to sort users to see who does NOT have an attachment but IS using moodle (enrolled in a course). I like Ger's auto attach when enrolling but don't know how to set it up either. Thank you for any help on the mass creation or assign parent module setup.

//Split apart supervisor table element
  $sup = explode(" ", $row_pull_name['supervisor']);

//Count array elements
  $sup_count = count($sup);
  
  //Save supervisors first name
  $sup_fname = $sup[0];
  
  //Save supervisors last name
  $sup_lname = $sup[$sup_count-1];

Justin - looking at this code, I was unsure of what was happening in the supervisor field. Is there a specific format required for the supervisor? eg: firstname lastname or similar?
