Syncing user profiles and bulk remote enrolment via MNET

Hi,

we are using MNET as single sign on solution for 5 moodle sites. We have got one MNET master site with local users (let's call it #1) and 5 (#2 to #6) remote moodle sites, that all are SSO with #1.

We have to subscribe users regularly to courses from #1 to the other remote instances. The problem: Even if we create cohorts, or profile fields with keywords, so that these users can be selected via a search for bulk enrolment, the actual enrolments do not support cohorts and searching for special profile attributes.

We did a workaround: Give the users a "second" first name (csv upload -> change user profiles), then search for that firstname, enrol all the users with that second firstname, change the user profiles back to their normal firstname. Disadvantage: On the remote sites, the profile stays with the fictional second firstname (ex: David Remoteuser Bogner) until the specific users logs on to the remote site.

So we want to have either (what would be easier to create as local plugin)

  1. search for cohorts and/or custom user profile fields for bulk enrolment
  2. user syncing with the remote moodle sites.

Has anyone an advice how to proceed?

Best regards,

David
