Administrator Identity

Identity and contact details of the platform administrator. These values appear in the platform footer and in some system-generated emails.

Access these settings under Administration > Configuration settings > Administrator Identity. This category contains 12 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.

chamilo_latest_news

Latest news

Default: true

chamilo_support

Chamilo support block

Get pro tips and an easy way to contact official service providers for professional support, directly from the makers of Chamilo. This block appears on your administration page, is only visible by administrators, and refreshes every time you load the administration page.

Default: true

max_anonymous_users

Multiple anonymous users

Enable this option to allow multiple system users for anonymous users. This is useful when using this platform as a public showroom for some courses. Having multiple anonymous users will let tracking work for the duration of the experience for several users without mixing their data (which could otherwise confuse them).

Default: 0

redirect_admin_to_courses_list

Redirect admin to courses list

The default behaviour is to send administrators directly to the administration panel (while teachers and students are sent to the courses list or the platform homepage). Enable to redirect the administrator also to his/her courses list.

Default: false

send_inscription_notification_to_general_admin_only

Notify global admin only of new users

When enabled, only the global administrator receives email notifications about new user registrations instead of all administrators.

Default: false

show_link_request_hrm_user

Show link to request bond between user and HRM

Display a link on the profile page allowing Human Resources directors to request to be linked with a user account.

Default: false

user_status_option_only_for_admin_enabled

Hide role from normal users

Allows hiding users' role when this option is set to true and the following array sets the corresponding role to 'true'.

Default: false

user_status_option_show_only_for_admin

Define which roles are hidden to normal users

The roles set to 'true' will only appear to administrators. Other users will not be able to see them.
