Course participants not updated with cohort any more

Hello everybody,

In our 2.8 Moodle platform, I enrol users by the means of cohorts, the paractical thing has always been that when I uploaded new users I just had to add them to a cohort and done.

But now, in a course, the new users have no access - I have to add the cohort again to all of the courses in order to enrole the new ones in the course. This is definetely not very practical - is it a configuration ?

Thank you for any help !

Unfortunately, that is how cohorts work.  If you didn't have to add them to the course, then every cohort would be enrolled in every course!

Thank you Emma, but in my case, I have to add them again and again, every time I add a new cohort member.

Usually, you cannot add a cohort twice, but here, I can - adding users the shows only the new members : in this screenshot, you see the cohort M1 FLE 15-16 which has like 30 members - it only displays one in this context:

Guess number 1:  Are these restored courses?  And did you perhaps restore as manual enrollments?

Guess number 2:  When you enrol the cohort, you are not actually doing a cohort enrolment but adding the users from the cohort.

Go to Enrolment methods and add a new enrolment.  Select Cohort Sync and then select your cohort.  This should then continually sync them.

Hello Emma,

Thank you very much ! Indeed, that's the solution - I wasn't even aware I wasn't using cohort enrolment (last year, add users by browsing cohorts worked perfectly) - everything works fine when I add the cohort in enrolment methods.

Thanks a lot for your help !
