Shared URL module allow teachers to add a link to an existing activity to avoid copy of the same content on multiple courses.
It works with the enrol plugin "enrol_shared" which automatically enrol users to that course if they are not already enrolled.

teachers can copy the url of an activity or resource from one course (A) and paste it in the shared url plugin of another course (B).
users who click on shared url link in course B will be temporary enrolled in course A with shared enrolment method as student even if they have another role in course A.
shared enrolment provide an easy way to isolate user access to course A from mod shared url plugin.

Test in Moodle 3.10, user not only can access an activity in target course, but also all activities in target course, is the behaviour correct?

This behaviour is correct. enrol_shared plugin enrols user to the entire course.

Hello Kushan, the behavior you're describing is not what's excepected of the plugin as it aims to create a relation between a course and another course's activity (as it is a part of that second course). If you wish to simply implement - or say copy - an activity from another course you should use Moodle's backup feature.
Go to the activity you want to duplicate and from the activity's page, open the options. Select 'backup' and create a backup of your activity.
Then restore the created backup and select the target course as destination. You will then have successfully copied an activity into another course, as part of that course you will be able to navigate to the previous/next activity of that course without encountering troubles.

Please let us know if I misinterprated your question or if you need anything else from us.
Amaury from Cblue.

This plugin had great potential, but it seems as though it may no longer be supported. That's a shame.
