This plugin is based on the core tool_cohortroles plugin and allows the selection of a role rather than an individual to assign a manager/mentor/parent to a user. If a user is assigned the selected role at any level - (site/course/category etc) they will be assigned as the mentor/manager/parent to all users within the cohorts selected they are also a member of.

This plugin is based on the core tool_cohortroles plugin and allows the selection of a role rather than an individual to assign a manager/mentor/parent to a user.

If a user is assigned the selected role at any level - (site/course/category etc) they will be assigned as the mentor/manager/parent to all users within the cohorts selected they are also a member of.

Example:

  • Cohort "Engineering" has the users, "John, Mary, Steven, George"
  • Cohort "6th Floor" has the users "John, David, Simon"
  • John is enrolled in course 1 with the custom role "Support"
  • David is assigned the custom role "support" at the site-level.
  • A Parent/Mentor/manager role has been created in the system to allow user-level role assignments - see:https://docs.moodle.org/en/Parent_role
  • The cohortautoroles plugin is configured to find all users in the "support" role, assign them to the parent/manger/mentor role.

John will be automatically assigned as the mentor to "Mary, Steven, George, David, Simon" 
David will be automatically assigned as the mentor to "John, Simon"

NOTE: Mentors will only be assigned if they are also a member of the cohort as well.

    Thanks Dan - I had a look at this plugin. The code seems very familiar surrir. Even though it's based on my plugin the copyrights could be updated to you - we typically just assign them to the first person to commit each file. It would be nice to see some unit tests for this plugin and some more detail in the description (it took me reading the SQL to realise the mentor/manager/parent should also be in the cohort). While limiting this to system role assignments might be a nice feature - you can do that anyway by limiting the contexts that a custom role can be assigned - so I guess this gives you more flexibility.

    Thanks for uploading it here - I'm sure it will be useful in some cases (especially mentors etc). My +1 to approve this plugin.

    Thanks Damyon,

    I had updated the copyright in the version.php but didn't touch the other files as they are really just copies of your files with some pretty minor modifications.

    Thanks Dan for sharing the plugin with the community, and thanks Damyon for the approval check. My apologies for the delay with the formal approval. I am happy to press the button now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the plugins directory!

    Thanks Dan.
    This was working beautifully on an older version
    I upgraded to 3.7 and now this.
    I see that the same problems were addressed for the original plugin that it was based on.

    This happens after assigning roles when coming back to admin/tool/cohortautoroles/index.php? (instead of the table of role assignments)

    Class 'tool_lp\external\cohort_summary_exporter' has been renamed for the autoloader and is now deprecated. Please use 'core_cohort\external\cohort_summary_exporter' instead.
