Configure Auto Enrollment Criteria
Course administrators can configure the selection criteria to automatically enroll learners in the selected session. You can select users based on any combination of the following properties:
- User group, role, logical domain or organization
- Completed courses
- Employment information
- Job profile or competencies
- User attributes
You can specify the start and end dates between which auto-enrollment can happen, and before you activate the auto-enrollment you can test it to see which users are selected.
You can specify the frequency with which the LMS scans users for auto-enrollment in the Auto-Enroll Console.
The Ignore Prerequisites and Enrollment Approval Steps for Automatic Enrollments System Configuration setting determines if prerequisite checks and approval steps, if any, are skipped during the automatic enrollment process.
When learners are automatically enrolled in a course, payment requests are bypassed, therefore the course is offered for no charge.
To configure auto-enroll criteria for a session, you must have a system role with unrestricted access to the Auto/Group Enroll option under Manage Features > Catalog Manager Features.
