Moodle 2.0

Chapter 3
Where:
• operation is add or del, which enrol the user to the course, or unenrol the
user from the course, respectively.
• role is role, or function that the user will have in the course. For example:
student or editingteacher.
• ID number of user is a unique identifier for the user.
• ID number of course is a unique identifier for the course.
Moodle periodically reads in this file, and modifies its enrollment data according to
what the file says. For example, the following line will add the student with an ID
number of 007 to the course with an ID number of EM102:
add, student, 007, EM102
Place this file in a directory that is accessible to your web server. For example, you
can put it inside the Moodle data directory.
Student ID number required
Before you can enrol a person in a course, that person needs to be a member of
your site. That is, the person needs to be authenticated. In this case, your first step
is to authenticate the users using one of the methods discussed in the section
on Authentication.
If you use a flat file to enrol students in a course, the file will identify each student
by their ID number. Whatever method you use to authenticate your users, it should
include a unique ID number for each user. This number should consist of only digits,
and be up to ten characters in length. On the user profile page, you can see that ID
number is an optional field, as shown in the screenshot below:
