I withdraw my previous post.. The problem was caused by the fact that I use Dynamic Cohorts to keep my cohort up to date.
Fortunately I found the solution here:
https://github.com/paulholden/moodle-local_cohortrole/issues/11#issuecomment-2249791430
The key is: "for Dynamic Cohorts is to not enable the 'Bulk processing' option"
Thanks to everyone!

If I understand correctly, this plugin only synchronises once after I create a new rule.
After that, even if I add or delete a user from the cohort, it will not synchronise again?
If this is true, why does it need the scheduled task?

I am having Anthony M's exact problem 3 years later...any resolution with having cohort role synchronization work with profile field based cohort membership?
I have the role 'student' assigned to the cohort 'abc' and upon creation, all the existing cohort members became students...success! However when a new user registers and becomes a member of the cohort via profile field based cohort membership, they do not get the role sync to 'student' and the sync cohort roles is running. I'm stumped.

Hi Paul, I could use the plugin for one of my problems.
I need to map a global group to a specific system role in individual course areas.
The plugin currently only works system-wide.
Are there any plans to further develop the plugin in this direction?
Greetings Stephan

Even if my cohort has now a new user (added by the plugin "Profile field based cohort membership") when the scheduled task runs in Moodle it´s not Syncing the user to the system role...

Execute scheduled task: Sincronizar asignaciones de roles de cohorte (tool_cohortroles\task\cohort_role_sync)
... started 09:29:02. Current memory use 32.9MB.

Scheduled task complete: Sincronizar asignaciones de roles de cohorte (tool_cohortroles\task\cohort_role_sync)

Any feedback in the compatibility of local_cohortrole with the plugin "Profile field based cohort membership" would be appreciated?

I have been testing and when I "Define a new synchronization" all the users in an existing cohort are assigned the system rol as expected.

But from that moment if I add a new user to the cohort that new user is not added to the system role anymore. I am using "Profile field based cohort membership" to add the users to the cohort.

I just wanted to check if the above behaviour is expected or if there is something wrong in my tests?

If cohort sync is enabled and in use, would the cohort role synchronization plugin conflict with it? I'm looking for a way to add a role to all members of an existing cohort, but I'm wondering if this plugin would conflict with cohort sync.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for a great plugin

Is there any chance you could extend this plugin so that cohorts could be assigned roles in categories?

Hallo, as far as i understood the docs, there is only the possibility to assign global rols. In future will be there a possibility to assign rols on category level?
That would be really great!

I can confirm that the plugin is working on 3.5 for us, however I am also wondering if the plugin maintainer has stopped working on it.

Hi
I would like to give the manager-role the capability to perform this plugin.
In my site the function is only available to the admin.
How can the capabilities be set?

Hi Paul,
Awesome plugin, just what we need for making our moodle site a little bit easier to maintain. It's working on our 3.2 test site right now but we're planning to push our site to 3.3 soon too and we're wondering if there are any known issues with it on 3.3 as it isn't officially compatible according to this page.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Paul,

you might be interested that we created a plugin which provides a mapping from custom user profile fields to cohorts. It is published on https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-local_profilecohort and currently waiting for approval in the plugins repo.

I have recommended your plugin in our plugin's README as a solution for mapping from custom user profile fields to system roles and we are using this combination in production.

Thanks for your work!
Alex
