There is also a mechanism in moodle Admin | Users | Accounts | Upload users - that allows you to bulk create account(s) and enroll account(s) into various courses, automatically.

Hi Everyone,
This is a very interesting post and could be exactly what I want. I am not the technical person, but I am designing the systems. So I would like some clarification before I put it to the programmers.
I have created a free training site for teachers using an educational robot in their classroom. The training is integrated into a WordPress Activity Library. We have a single login for WP and Moodle. The aim is that teachers can train-on-the job and just-in-time. Consequently all the courses are small. Things that the teacher can access on their mobile, access and implement in a couple of minutes. That means lots of courses and a pain for people to login for every course. There is generally not a structure to how these materials are used.
I have 4 types of people using the site: Guest, User, Trainer, School/District Administrators.
The Guests can see a limited number of courses.
Users can see all the regular materials.
The trainers are often independent educators who visit/advise/train teachers. They are users who also have the rights to use a structured course and pass a competence test before they go out training.
Administrators can structure the materials in their courses so that people in their district can access an official training programme.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how the ideas above might be applied here?
Depending on how often things change, you could use any one of the enrolment options such as a flat file csv or external database, where you maintain a list of teachers and courses and use that to auto-enrol them all.
If the courses and staff change infrequently then it can be done using the bulk user upload - create a spreadsheet of courses and staff and their roles in each course and upload it through the bulk user upload - lots of initial work but would remove the need for staff to enrol on the courses each time.
Hi everyone,
Reading this link, it seems a few years (and a few versions ago :
-https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=130642,
-https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=109034), you could have new users automatically enrolled in all courses by applying one of enrollment configuration (https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Enrolment_FAQ)
"If the default role for all users in Site Administration > Users > Permissions > User policies is set to student rather than authenticated user (the default setting), this will result in all students being enrolled in all courses."
My moodle site is currently configured in this way. When I log in with a new user, I can browse all courses list, but when I try to get the content, I can't because I am not yet enrolled. Is this configuration still supposed to have the automatic enrollment effect ? Am I missing something ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Stéphane
Hello. I think this information is out of date (the FAQ entry dates back to 1.9 over 5 years ago) I have edited it. By default students are only students in the course context as it isn't advisable (unless it's a tiny Moodle site) to have them enrolled into all courses by default. The documentation Assign roles explains more.
My requirement is that when a user logs into Moodle they already have access to one course that has some discussions forums and other resources.
How does on achieve this in Moodle 3.1.x .
The student/ user will self register to the site and on logging in he should have access to a specific course.
There are many courses and I want to give access to one course.
If that is not possible, is it possible to achieve with a Moodle site having only one course.
I am thinking of a Moodle site that works for users without any intervention from system administrator in the enrollment and registration process.
Please advise.

You could try the auto enolment plugin (link) if you are able to install plugins.
Thank you Mary . I will try it out. and give my feedback

this plugin =>https://moodle.org/plugins/enrol_auto
that you gave worked like a charm.
Have another question.
I want logged in users to setup their own private discussion forums. is that possible with some plugin
I found this group choice plugin =>https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_choicegroup
In fact you have a video describing it.
I thought i could create private group forums and create these groups and let users select a free group for their private discussion.
Any other way to go about it.
Thanks
