Registration

Self-registration policy and post-registration redirects — what new users are asked for and where they land.

Access these settings under Administration > Configuration settings > Registration. This category contains 21 settings, listed below with the title and comment shipped in the platform's settings fixtures (SettingsCurrentFixtures.php).

The variable name in code is shown in monospace. Use it when scripting via the API or when you need to change those settings at a global level by editing config/settings_override.yaml.

Settings

When enabled, a teacher/admin can send a one-time invitation link from a course's Users tool that lets an unregistered person reach the registration form and register even while general self-registration (allow_registration) is disabled.
