Bulk assign roles in course categories when using Upload users

Removing docs_required, as thanks to a discussion in the Francophone community  

this is now documented in Teacher role and Upload users

@DmitriiM, @Mathew May, @Andrew Lyons or anyone else watching this issue, please can you help explain how this improvement works so we can document it for everyone to understand and make use of it.

In particular, Mary has some questions (see comment above). Also @Ralf Hilgenstock asks in https://moodle.atlassian.net/browse/MDL-78958#icft=MDL-78958 for documentation on how to use category and categoryrole in csv user upload.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello and thanks for this improvement. I am trying to document it but having problems understanding what is needed for it to work. I am assuming we need

• category enrolments enabled from Plugins>Category enrolments

•  capability enrol/category:synchronised allowed for the people (eg teachers, students) we want to have the category role?

• the role (eg teacher/student) allowed for categories in Define roles?

With this I can get it to work but I do see for example the teacher with the category role appears in the course participants list (and on the list of teachers for the course) which is OK except I thought category roles are "Other users" and therefore don't appear in the Participants list?

If I removed the capability enrol/category:synchronised  then they cannot access new courses created in their category.

I would appreciate some help so I can document this,thanks.

Thanks for your contributions! This change is now available from the main moodle.git repository and will shortly be available on download.moodle.org.

Closing as fixed!

Passing this. Behat tests are passing again with the latest fix applied.
