email addresses

Hello,

How do I stop students from seeing other participants email addresses? - There must be an obvious solution but I've looked at everything that I can think of including the list of permissions....
Thanks,

 

Paul

Hi, Paul,

There must be an SQL query that will set all students' email display in their profiles to "hide my email address from everyone." Or maybe a little tweaking of the profile form to make that the only choice. In a hidden field, maybe?

Just some thoughts...

You can do this with a flat file, a .csv file that you upload. Read the documentation here.

And beware:

Updating existing accounts

By default Moodle assumes that you will be creating new user accounts, and skips records where the username matches an existing account. However, if you set "Update existing accounts" to Yes, the existing user account will be updated.

When updating existing accounts you can change usernames as well. Set "Allow renames" to Yes and include in your file a field called oldusername.

Warning: any errors updating existing accounts can affect your users badly. Be careful when using the options to update.
