When added to a course this enrolment plugin can enrol users onto a course automatically, either as they log into your Moodle site or as they click on the course. It is intended for use on site-wide courses such as "Moodle Help" or "Learner Voice".

In addition the plugin has advanced functionality to support automatically grouping and filtering users based upon their attributes. Depending on how your user accounts are set up this may help you to give access to certain user groups.

The plugin adds new permissions to help you manage the use of the plugin. The first permission called "config" allows the user to add a new instance of the plugin and change only the most basic options. The second permission is called "method" and gives users the ability to change when the user will be enrolled on a course, and what type of enrolment it will be (ie something other than student). There are further permissions relating to the plugin which should be reviewed through Moodle's "Define Roles" page.
