Description
When using the auto create function for groups, it would be great to be able to filter the selection from which the auto creation is running.
For example, a Moodle site has students from three schools operating in a shared environment, and the teacher at one school wants to create random groups within their school. At the moment, this can't be done using the auto create function, as it will pull from all three schools, however if there was a feature where the filtering code from the 'Browse Users' function was included as part of the process then the teacher could choose to just create random groups of users with an email address from their school. Only workaround I can think of atm is to use a User Upload process to create groups, but this requires access to create users, so its far from ideal.
A patch adding the filtering box from the 'Browse Users' feature to the 'Autogroup' feature. A screenshot showing how it looks.
