Cohort manager role

Hi,

I am planning to use Cohorts for around 60 schools having 5 courses. So each cohort is one school. Is there a way that I can define a Cohort manager role so that he manages that cohort like add, delete users of that cohort, edit course content available to that cohort. If yes please guide me on this.

I don't know if my idea will help you anymore, but the simplest way to do it, is to create a new account with admin rights for those courses.

Or, if you have all users in  .CSV flat file(s) you can upload the users in cohorts for each course. This is easy way if you have the users in a .csv file, already formated for uploading in Moodle.

If you create a category for each school and put the courses in the relevant category, all you need to do is give a person Manager permission at the category level (not site). Build the cohort in the category. The manager will have all permissions for those courses and none for courses in any other category.

If you don't want them to have specific permissions, you can probably copy the manager role at the site level, rename it (cohort manager), and remove any of the permissions you don't want them to have.

Good evening, my friends.

I've created a system role with all the cohort related permissions and assign it to some users. These users don't have any administration links in Moodle menus therefore they can't manage the cohort enrolment directly. Fortunately, I've checked that they do can access cohort enrolment by the URL address (https://my_moodle/cohort/index.php.

I hope it helps.

Best regards
