Hello,
I have a situation where students have the ability to change their first and last (Sir) names. Is there a way to prevent this? We are using 2.0.
Thank you, John

What authenication method are you using?
Re: Students changing their first and last name
We are using LDAP.
Re: Students changing their first and last name
Sorry posted my last reply before I saw yours - I decided your answer might not matter . For LDAP go to Plugins (they moved Authenication methods from the USERS section in Moodle 2) - Authenication - LDAP Server. Scroll down to 'DATA MAPPING'- you can lock the fields there.
Hope that helps.
Re: Students changing their first and last name
Depending on the authenication method - you go to Plugins - Authenication - manage authenication - and click on settings. We use a combination of Manual, Ldap, and External database to authenicate users - all of these have the ability to lock or unlock the user fields. Set the first name and last (sur) name to locked. On lDAP and External databse - there are choices regarding if the user makes changes if it is updated and how often it updates from the database but it can still be locked - just a few more choices than the manual accounts settings.
