With this plugin you are able to invite users into your course even if they don't have a user acount in your Moodle installation.
The general settings give you the control what an invited user can and can't.
The settings in short:
- Delete the invited account as soon it is logged out.
- Delete the invited account within a range of days.
- Define a limit how often a invitation link can be used.
- Define a role the invited user should assigned to in the course he is invited to.
- Define a system role the invited user should assigned to globally to give you more possibilities for restrictions.
- Define a bunch of urls to prevent some actions which can not be prevented by moodle permissions.
- Allow invited user to use a single name as alias.
- Define an optional policy consent.

It would be really nice if you could use English here ;). Thank you
1. the word should be assigned not assinged - If a system role is defined the invited user will be assinged to this. This can be used to restrict the invited user on system level.
2. the word should be which not wich - Note: You can define urls or parts of urls wich invited users should not be able to call.
If the invited user calls such url he is redirected to its course or to the Moodle frontpage.
You should not include the Dashboard or the frontpage in this list!
I've installed plugin and configured it to delete account after period of time and set the default role = Student. But when invited user logins, he could not change his email, login, password, so I dindt find any way to login one more time once the browser was closed or session expired. Would you recommend any way to create accounts using this invite link that can be used several times (not to create new account every time)?
Another question that follows the previous - the only possibility is to create only one invite link per course. But there is no control, that one user will use the link only one time, so one user can use all available activations. How can i make isolated links per each invited user?
The position of the link you ask for depends on your Moodle version.
In Moodle 3.x it is shown in the left navigation drawer.
In Moodle 4.x it is shown in the more menu in the course just near the Reports and the Question bank.
Is there anyway that this plugin could be used at site level to invite for registration? Would some changes to the plugin be helpful in this case?
Thanks a lot,
You plug-in was immensely useful. See "Re: Can a user have two independent attempts going on in parallel?" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=458783#p1843031. Many thanks!
The only "complaint" is the documentation. The description on this page has no link to a documentation. Is it the reason, why this plug-in is little known in the forums? Otherwise, "How can I conduct an anonymous quiz on Moodle?" is a common question.
One more thing: I initially wanted to post in plug-in discussion, "New plugin local_invitation" https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=429384#p1727968, but that thread is locked!
The plugin seems to solve the most common issue of allowing the guest experience the Moodle quizzes.
I tried to activate it for my website on Moodle 4.1.3.
When I tried connecting using the generated link, after entering the name, it shows me the following error: "Sorry, you can not edit own profile".
Kindly guide what settings I need to update for it or let me know how to get the support for this plugin.
I am impressed about this plugin!
However, it would be AWESOME if we could write a group-name when we build the link, then the guest using the link would be automaticaly groupped in that group.
