Hi Dominique,
I am the maintainer of https://moodle.org/plugins/availability_role.
This plugin currently can't handle guest enrolment yet (as the user is not really enrolled into the course with a role), but a colleague of me is already working on this. Due to other priorities, it will take 2-3 weeks until it's finished. Watch out for a new version in the plugin repo if you are interested.
Thanks,
Alex
Alex,
Thanks for that good news. That will be a very useful feature for an already useful plugin.
Thanks
Randy
Thank you both for your reply. I will look into this plugin.
What about the core Restrict access settings? Access can be restricted by Activity completion, date, grade, group or grouping and user profile fields. Could access be restricted also by enrolment method using the Restrict access settings?
Could it be? Yes, if that ability were added in the core code.
Will it be? Almost certainly No, because the point of making the availability restrictions as a plugin based tool was so that it could be easily extended by plugins that add specific types of restrictions. That means such additional restriction types would be unlikely to be added to core code.
The proper way to do it would be make a new restriction type plugin modeled on the course role one to instead use course enrollment type as the criterion.
