If you need to massively assign user role like Parent or Mentor, this plugin will help you.

Based on an external table containing the Parent-child or Mentor-Mentee relationship, this plugin will add new relationship and also remove old ones.

Not tested yet with 2.7 and 2.8.

If you do, let me know,

I'm guessing this doesn't work with Moodle 2.9. Not working for me.

Worked in 2.9 with me, with a few tweaks:
-Integrate the pull request from github to allow assigning of role on user login (no cron job required): https://github.com/mfuhrmeisterDM/moodle-enrol_dbuserrel/commit/97621be22aefdc11bec10ebb135ef9f8656fd0d5
-Integrate second pull request to allow mixed-case column names in the external database table: https://github.com/primmy13/moodle-enrol_dbuserrel/commit/df9e542903168315ce68211a567bd2b12ad2951b

Works in 3.4 with a few modifications, available at https://github.com/spinozarabel/moodle-enrol_dbuserrel the modifications include removing enrol_sync on login (now done via CLI or using a CRON, very easy to setup), corrected database driver defaults. Started from Gabe G's work, indebted to him for that. Not thoroughly tested so usual caveats, use at your own risk! For a detailed look at implementing the external database see my documentation at https://sritoni.org/blog/implementing-a-parent-portal-in-moodle/

This plugin is essentially abandoned with no updates in 5 years. We've done a major refactor which picks up profile fields & additional profile fields and running it on Moodle 3.7. Seems like it's time to pass on the maintainer torch Max if you don't have time for this anymore.

Hi there. I think if it were not for you, this area would be orphaned. I have been looking for a way to massively assign parents to their children and have not found a solution. I would appreciate your support in this regard. Many successes in the future.

Will this plugin be available for 4.x versions? It has been very valuable for my projects and I would love to keep using it. Thanks a lot.
