Comandos

Cada método del objeto Moodle como un comando de moodle, generado a partir de los tipos del driver: los mismos nombres (también en kebab-case), argumentos y opciones. Consulta La línea de comandos para instalarlo, iniciar sesión y las opciones globales.

Cada uno se puede escribir también en moodle shell, sin el moodle delante, en un navegador que sigue abierto entre comandos (consulta Una sesión interactiva). Tras moodle open, los comandos moodle sueltos desde cualquier terminal trabajan en un navegador que queda abierto en segundo plano, hasta moodle close (consulta Ver actuar comandos sueltos).

Además de estos, moodle tiene sus propios comandos para la sesión y el navegador: login, sites, forget, shell, open, close y help (consulta La línea de comandos).

nota

La descripción de cada comando sale de los comentarios del código, que están en inglés.

activitiesOverview

Moodle 5's activities overview of a course for one type ("resource" for every resource type): per activity, the columns its overview page shows the person (due dates, submissions, what needs grading, their own grade…). Without a type, every type in the course's state: "resource" first, which brings pages, books, files, folders and links at once, then each type still missing.

moodle activities-overview <courseId> [type]

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
type (optional)	string

activityContent

Reads a page's or label's text, a book's chapters, a URL resource's target, or a file resource's or folder's files. With the realistic trail, page by page at a reader's pace, calling onProgress with the seconds read so far while it pauses. Takes an activity as the course structure gives it ({ id, type }), or its id and module.

moodle activity-content <activityId> <type> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
type	"url" | "page" | "book" | "label" | "resource" | "folder"
--trail	"realistic" | "fast"

activityReport

A course's activity report: per activity, how many times it was viewed, by how many people, and when last, from the logs (between from and until when given). Activities nobody viewed come with zero views.

moodle activity-report <courseId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--from	Date
--until	Date

activitySettings

An activity's settings as its form holds them, without submitting it: its module, name and description, every field by the name updateActivity takes in settings, the files of a resource, folder or SCORM, and its restrictions and completion in plain terms. Teachers only.

moodle activity-settings <activityId>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number

addGradeCategory

Adds a grade category (at the course's top level, or inside parentId); returns it as the setup shows it.

moodle add-grade-category <courseId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--name (required)	string
--aggregation	"mean" | "median" | "lowest" | "highest" | "mode" | "weighted-mean" | "simple-weighted-mean" | "mean-with-extra-credits" | "natural"
--parent-id	number

addGradeItem

Adds a manual grade item (one graded in the gradebook, not by an activity): out of maxGrade (Moodle's default, 100, when left out) or on a scale (scaleId), at the course's top level or in categoryId, hidden from students when asked. Returns it as the setup shows it.

moodle add-grade-item <courseId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--name (required)	string
--max-grade	number
--scale-id	number
--category-id	number
--hidden	boolean

addQuestionsToQuiz

Adds bank questions to a quiz by id, and random questions from a bank category, at the end or on a page, as the edit page's bank actions post them. Returns the quiz's structure afterwards. A quiz already attempted can't change its questions: Moodle refuses, and so does this.

moodle add-questions-to-quiz <activityId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
--question-ids	number[]
--random	{ categoryId: number; count: number; includeSubcategories?: boolean; }
--page	number

addQuizSection

Adds a section to a quiz starting at a slot, with its heading and whether its questions are shuffled, as the edit page's "Add a new section heading" and its heading and shuffle controls do. A section starts at a page: the slot must be the first of its page (see setQuizPages).

moodle add-quiz-section <activityId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
--first-slot (required)	number
--heading (required)	string
--shuffle	boolean

addSection

Adds a section after another one (at the end without it), named when a name is given, with a description (HTML) when summary is, and embed's local files in it (<img src="shot.png">).

moodle add-section <courseId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--name	string
--after-section-id	number
--summary	string
--embed	string[]

allocateMarker

Allocates a marker (the user id of someone who can grade; several where the assignment uses several markers per submission) to participants' submissions, as the grading table's "Allocate marker" does. Moodle leaves alone submissions past marking (marking completed, in review, ready for release, released).

moodle allocate-marker <activityId> <userIds> <markerId>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
userIds	number[]
markerId	number | number[]

anonymizeBackup

A copy of a backup file that names no one and no site, written on this computer without the browser or a session (anonymizeBackup).

moodle anonymize-backup <file> <destFile>

Argument	Type	Description
file	string
destFile	string

answerChoice

Answers a choice with one option (several where it allows them) by id, as "Save my choice" does; returns the choice afterwards.

moodle answer-choice <activityId> <optionIds>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
optionIds	number[]

answerLessonPage

Answers the page the person is on: a content page's button (its label or position), or a question's fields by name. Returns Moodle's feedback when it gives one, and the page that follows, going on past the feedback as its "Continue" does; reaching the end ends the attempt. With the realistic trail it first takes the time a reader needs for the page (ADR-005).

moodle answer-lesson-page <activityId> <answer> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
answer	{ button?: string | number; responses?: Record<string, string>; }
--trail	"realistic" | "fast"

answerQuizQuestions

Saves answers in an attempt in progress without finishing it, and gives its questions afterwards. With the realistic trail, it first takes the time a reader needs for the questions and their options (ADR-005), calling onProgress with the seconds elapsed and the total.

moodle answer-quiz-questions <attemptId> <answers> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
attemptId	number
answers	{ slot: number; responses: Record<string, string>; }[]
--trail	"realistic" | "fast"

assessWorkshopSubmission

Assesses a submission as the person, through the workshop's assessment form (its grading strategy's: accumulative, comments, number of errors or rubric), as "Assess" on the submission's page and the form do: a teacher who hasn't assessed it yet gets an assessment of their own, and one already made is changed. criteria go in the form's order; feedback is the overall feedback for the author (HTML), where the workshop has it on; fields sets any other field of the form by name (weight…). Returns a sentence of what changed, the assessment's id, and the grade it gives the submission out of the workshop's grade. Throws WorkshopError outside the assessment phase, when a criterion's grade isn't one it takes, or when the workshop has no overall feedback; FormError when Moodle refuses the form (a criterion left without a grade).

moodle assess-workshop-submission <activityId> <submissionId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
submissionId	number
--criteria	WorkshopCriterion[]
--feedback	string
--fields	Record<string, FieldValue>

assignmentSubmissions

Every participant's submission to an assignment, with the group they submit for (group submissions), and, unless includeContent is false, its content, the feedback files they have, its marking workflow state and markers (all from each participant's grading panel). Those come only for participants with a submission: Moodle's grading panel creates an empty one for a participant who has none, so reading leaves them at "none", without the panel's details (confirmed empirically on the sandbox, 5.2). For a participant with a submission and no grade yet, the panel still leaves an empty grade (-1, not graded) and a "Grading form viewed" event, as Moodle's grader does. Only some participants when given their userIds; with limit, a page of them in the grader's order (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts): Moodle's service lists every participant at once, cut to the page, and only the page's participants are read further (their dates, their panels).

moodle assignment-submissions <activityId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
--include-content	boolean	Also each submission's content, feedback files, workflow state and markers, from the grading panels: true unless given.
--user-ids	number[]	Only these participants (their user ids).
--limit	number	How many items to return (1 or more): with it, the list comes as a ListPage; without it, every item, as a plain list.
--offset	number	How many items to skip first, in the function's own order: 0 unless given.

backupContents

What a backup file (.mbz) holds and what its activities refer to outside it, read on this computer without the browser or a session (backupContents).

moodle backup-contents <file>

Argument	Type	Description
file	string

backupCourse

Backs a course up to a .mbz file, through Moodle's backup wizard (initial settings, schema, confirmation), and downloads it into destDir. Without users' data unless withUsers, which needs moodle/backup:userinfo (anonymize makes their names anonymous). An asynchronous backup is waited for up to timeoutMs (ten minutes). Moodle keeps the file in the course's or the person's backup area too. With sections (section ids) or activities (course module ids: activities and resources), only those go in: a section with everything in it, an activity alone (with its section's name, which Moodle needs for it). A selection never carries people's data, nor what belongs to the course rather than to its content (blocks, filters, badges, course events, groups, competencies, custom fields, content bank, legacy files); the file is read afterwards to check that it holds what was asked and no people's data. anonymous (the default for a selection, not for a whole course) makes the file name no one and no site, through anonymizeBackup: no user ids or authors, a neutral site, course and file name. It's then saved as backup-moodle2-anonymous-<date>.mbz; the copy Moodle keeps in its backup area stays as Moodle made it. anonymous: false keeps what Moodle wrote.

moodle backup-course <courseId> <destDir> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
destDir	string
--with-users	boolean
--anonymize	boolean
--anonymous	boolean	The file naming no one and no site (anonymizeBackup): true unless given for a selection, false for a whole course.
--sections	number[]	Ids of the sections to back up, each with everything in it.
--activities	number[]	Course module ids of activities and resources to back up, each alone.
--timeout-ms	number

calendarEvent

One calendar event by its id, as upcomingEvents gives them.

moodle calendar-event <eventId>

Argument	Type	Description
eventId	number

callService

Calls one of Moodle's AJAX services as the logged-in person.

moodle call-service <methodname> --options

Argument	Type	Description
methodname	string
--<name> <value>		Any other field of args

completionReport

A course's progress report: every participant's completion of every activity that tracks it, page by page, in one group when given, only some people's when given their userIds (the report has no filter by user: its pages are read until all of them are found). People come as user id and full name only.

moodle completion-report <courseId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--group	number
--user-ids	number[]

conversation

A conversation's messages, oldest first, as text, and its members as conversations() gives them: everyone but the person, whether they wrote in it or not (the person alone in their own conversation). With limit, messages is a page of them (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts) counted from the newest: the first page is the latest messages, more says there are older ones, and each page's messages still come oldest first. Moodle's service returns only the page.

moodle conversation <conversationId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
conversationId	number
--limit	number	How many items to return (1 or more): with it, the list comes as a ListPage; without it, every item, as a plain list.
--offset	number	How many items to skip first, in the function's own order: 0 unless given.

conversations

The person's conversations, latest first, with their last message as text. With limit, a page of them (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts), the only ones Moodle's service returns.

moodle conversations [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
--limit	number	How many items to return (1 or more): with it, the list comes as a ListPage; without it, every item, as a plain list.
--offset	number	How many items to skip first, in the function's own order: 0 unless given.

copyCourse

Copies a course into a new one, as Moodle's "Copy course" does: its content (and its people's data and enrolments, withUsers), under a new full and short name, in a category (the course's unless given), with new dates. Goes through Moodle's copy service, then waits for the copy, which Moodle makes in its scheduled tasks, up to timeoutMs (ten minutes). Needs the rights to back up, restore and create courses (moodle/backup:backupcourse, moodle/restore:restorecourse, moodle/course:create); without them, BackupError says so.

moodle copy-course <courseId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--full-name (required)	string
--short-name (required)	string
--category-id	number
--start	Date
--end	Date
--with-users	boolean
--visible	boolean
--timeout-ms	number

courseAbilities

What the person can do in a course, asked of read-only services that need the capability: the activity types they can add (none without moodle/course:manageactivities) and the grader report's users (nopermissions without gradereport/grader:view). Nothing is changed.

moodle course-abilities <courseId> <sectionId>

courseLogs

A course's logs, newest first, as its logs report lists them: by a user, an activity, a kind of action, and a time span, up to limit entries (100 unless given). Moodle filters by user, activity and action; the span is read page by page, stopping at the first entry older than from. Every entry's time comes as an ISO date, read back with the site language's own format. Without limit, the first 100 entries (from offset) as a list; with it, a page of them (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts), from the report's page that holds offset on (without until; with it, from the first page, since only the driver filters by it).

moodle course-logs <courseId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--user-id	number	Only this user's actions.
--activity-id	number	Only in this activity (its course module id).
--from	Date	Only from this date on.
--until	Date	Only until this date.
--action	"create" | "view" | "update" | "delete" | "change"	Only this kind of action.
--limit	number	How many entries (1 or more): with it, the entries come as a ListPage; without it, the first 100, as a plain list.
--offset	number	How many items to skip first, in the function's own order: 0 unless given.

createActivity

Creates an activity or resource of any type at the end of a section, through Moodle's own form, hidden from students unless visibility says otherwise. files are local paths uploaded to a file resource or folder (a DraftUpload puts one in a folder's subfolder); a SCORM (type: "scorm") or an H5P activity (type: "h5pactivity") takes the first as its package.

moodle create-activity <input>

Argument	Type	Description
input	ActivityFields & { courseId: number; sectionId: number; type: string; files?: (string | DraftUpload)[]; }

--answers	{ text: string; fraction: number; feedback?: string; tolerance?: number; }[]	Multichoice, short answer and numerical answers: a fraction of the mark (1 right, 0 wrong, negatives for penalties), the nearest one Moodle offers. A numerical answer's tolerance is the error accepted around it.
--correct	boolean	True/false: the right answer.
--category-id	number	The bank's category it goes in; a new question goes in the bank's default one when left out.
--default-mark	number
--fields	Record<string, FieldValue>	Any other field of the type's form, by name.

moodle delete-grade-category <courseId> <categoryId>

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
categoryId	number

moodle delete-post <postId>

Argument	Type	Description
postId	number

deleteQuestions

Deletes questions from a bank, every version of each, as the bank's delete action does: asked, then confirmed. Moodle doesn't delete a question a quiz uses: it hides it, and hidden lists those.

moodle edit-quiz-slot <activityId> <slot> --options

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
slot	number
--max-mark	number
--move-after	number
--page	number

Throws EnrolmentError when the person can't manage the course's enrolment methods.

moodle enrolment-methods <courseId>

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number

exportGrades

Saves a course's grades into destDir as Moodle exports them for a teacher: a spreadsheet (xlsx, ods), comma-separated text (csv) or XML, with the items, group, display and feedback chosen as in the export form. Returns the file as downloadFile does (never overwriting one). Throws GradebookError when the site has that format's export plugin disabled (naming the ones it has), when an item isn't in the course, or when Moodle refuses the export.

Submits an attempt for grading, and gives its review when the quiz shows it.

moodle finish-quiz-attempt <attemptId>

Argument	Type	Description
attemptId	number

forumDiscussions

A forum's discussions, as its page lists them: who started each, replies, last post, the person's subscription. With limit, a page of them in the forum's order (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts), read from the one page of the forum's own paging that holds it.

moodle forum-discussions <activityId> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
type (optional)	SurveyType

gradeForumUser

Gives a person their whole-forum grade, as the forum's grader does: points (out of the forum's maximum), or a scale item by name or value; null takes the grade away. Moodle's forum grader has no feedback text. notify sends the person Moodle's notification, as the grader's checkbox does. Returns a sentence of what changed and the grade afterwards. Throws GradingError when the forum isn't graded as a whole, the grade is out of range or not on the scale, or Moodle refuses it.

activityId	number
userId	number
--grade (required)	string | number
--notify	boolean

gradeQuizQuestion

Grades one question of a finished attempt by hand, with a comment, through Moodle's comment form (the review's "Make comment or override mark"): an essay waiting for grading, or any question whose mark the teacher overrides.

moodle gradebook-setup <courseId>

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number

graderReport

Everyone's grades in a course as the grader report shows them, page by page, in one group when given, only some people's rows when given their userIds (the report has no filter by user: its pages are read until all of them are found). People come as user id and full name only.

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--group	number
--user-ids	number[]

grantExtension

Grants participants an extension until a date, through the assignment's extension form (several at once as its bulk action does). Moodle refuses a date before the assignment's due date, and a person without its "grant extension" capability only on saving (the form opens for anyone, confirmed empirically on the sandbox, 5.2): both throw.

moodle grant-extension <activityId> <userIds> <until>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
userIds	number[]
until	Date

moodle h5p-activity <activityId>

Argument	Type	Description

moodle log-out

markNotificationsRead

Marks all the person's notifications read, as the popover's "Mark all as read" does; doing it twice changes nothing.

moodle mark-notifications-read

messageParticipants

Sends one message to several participants of a course, as the participants page's "Send a message" does for the users selected: one private message each, in one call. They are userIds, or the participants participants() chooses with role, group and inactiveSince (all of them when none is given), the person left out. sentTo lists exactly who got it, refused who Moodle didn't write to and why (they blocked the person, their privacy settings); someone who may message any user (a teacher, moodle/site:messageanyuser) gets through a block, as in Moodle's own page (confirmed empirically, Moodle 5.2).

moodle participant-filters <courseId>

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number

participants

A course's participants with their roles and groups, as the participants page lists them: only those with a role (its id), in a group, or (inactiveSince) who haven't accessed the course since that date, when asked. Each role and group is a filter of its own, so ids come in any language. With limit, a page of them in the page's order, by last name (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts): the one page of the table's own paging that holds it; the roles' and groups' members are still read whole, to tell each one's.

potentialUsers

Users the person may enrol in a course by manual enrolment, matching search anywhere in their name or the identity fields the site shows (all of them, a page of up to 100, when empty), as the "Enrol users" dialog finds them.

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
search (optional)	string

quizResults

A quiz's attempts as its grades report shows them: per attempt the user, state, dates, grade and the mark per question; with responses, also the answer per question from the responses report. Every page of the report; with limit, attempts is a page of them in the report's order (see "Long lists" in the docs' concepts), read from the one page of the report's own paging that holds it.

rate

Rates a forum post, a glossary entry or a database record as the person, as the rating menu under it does: by a scale item's name, or its number (the points of a point scale). null takes the person's rating away. Returns a sentence of what changed and the item's aggregate afterwards (as Moodle shows it, by the activity's aggregation) with the number of ratings.

moodle reply-to-post <postId> <input>

Argument	Type	Description
postId	number
input	PostInput & { subject?: string; }

resetCourse

Resets a course for a new year, as Moodle's reset form does: deletes only what's named in delete (in every module of the course that has it), unenrols the people with unenrolRoles (role ids), moves the course's start date to start (and its activities' dates with it), and sets any other of the form's fields by name (fields). Nothing is deleted unless asked: the form's own defaults are unticked first. It can't be undone. Returns Moodle's report: per component, what it did and its errors. Needs moodle/course:reset.

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
--delete	ResetDeletions

--start	Date
--fields	Record<string, FieldValue>

restoreCourse

Restores a backup file (.mbz) through Moodle's restore wizard: into a new course in a category (into: "new", with categoryId, which needs moodle/course:create there), or into an existing course (into: <course id>), its content added to the course's (mode: "merge", the default) or replacing it ("replace": the course's content is deleted first). A new course takes the backup's names unless fullName and shortName are given. Users' data is restored when withUsers and the backup has it. An asynchronous restore is waited for up to timeoutMs (ten minutes). Needs moodle/restore:restorecourse where it restores. Before the wizard, the backup is read: one made on a newer Moodle than the site's, or holding activities of a type the site doesn't offer the person in that course, is refused (Moodle would warn only, or skip those activities without a word). Merged into an existing course, Moodle puts each of the backup's sections into the course's section of the same number (creating it when there's none) and each activity at the end of it; sectionId puts every restored activity at the end of that section instead, and afterSectionId makes each of the backup's sections a new section, in order, after that one (the driver restores, then moves what Moodle made: one move per section). With either, a section of the course that Moodle changed on the way (named, described, hidden or restricted as the backup's, when it had none) is put back. Returns the sections and activities the course has new, in the course's order.

moodle restore-course <file> --options

Argument	Type	Description
file	string
--into (required)	number | "new"
--category-id	number
--mode	"merge" | "replace"

--timeout-ms	number

rubric

An assignment's grading method and, for a rubric or a marking guide, its criteria with the ids gradeSubmission takes: read from the grader's panel for the first participant with a submission. Where nobody has one yet, the panel is the first participant's, and Moodle creates an empty submission ("new") for them on opening it.

moodle rubric <activityId>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number

saveSubmission

Saves the submission's online text and adds files, as "Save changes" on the edit page does; gives the assignment afterwards.

A SCORM activity as the person sees it: its attempts (allowed and made), the grading method, the grade reported and each attempt's, and its SCOs with the person's status and score in the last attempt. Moodle doesn't show a SCORM's version on its page: openScorm tells it.

moodle scorm <activityId>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number

sendMessage

moodle send-message <userId> <text>

Argument	Type	Description
userId	number
text	string

setCompletion

moodle set-completion <activityId> <done>

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
done	boolean

setDiscussionState

Pins or unpins, locks or unlocks a discussion, as the discussion list's menu does; what's already so is left alone. Returns the discussion as the forum lists it afterwards.

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
discussionId	number

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
discussionId	number

setEnrolmentMethod

Sets an enrolment method: by id, or the course's first method of a type ({ type: "self" }), added when the course has none and the "Add method" menu offers it. Only what's given changes. enabled goes through the methods page's enable and disable icons, the rest through the method's form: what Moodle lets the person change differs by method (an editing teacher can't configure manual enrolment, enrol/manual:config, so neither switch it nor set its role). Returns the method afterwards. Throws EnrolmentError for a method the course doesn't have or can't add, and for a setting Moodle doesn't let the person change (naming it); FormError with Moodle's reason when it refuses the form (a key required by the site, an end before the start).

--max-users	number	Self enrolment: the most users it enrols; 0 for no limit.
--welcome	string | false	Manual and self enrolment: the welcome message to send (from the course contact unless another sender is set); false sends none.

setGrade

Sets a person's grade in a grade item through the gradebook's single view report, as a teacher does there: a manual item takes the grade; an activity's or a category's is overridden (Moodle keeps the override until it's taken off with override: false). Feedback and excluding from the totals go the same way. Returns a sentence of what changed and the grade afterwards. Throws GradebookError when the item or the person isn't in the course's gradebook, the grade is locked, or Moodle refuses the value (out of range, a scale item it doesn't have).

moodle set-grade <courseId> <itemId> <userId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
itemId	number
userId	number
--grade	string | number	A number, or a scale item's name or value for a scale; null empties the grade.
--feedback	string	Feedback text; an empty string removes it.
--override	boolean	Override the activity's or category's grade. Giving a grade or feedback to an activity's or a category's item overrides it unless this says false; false alone gives the grade back to the activity.
--excluded	boolean	Leave the grade out of the totals.

setGroupMembers

Adds and removes a group's members (user ids), as its members page does. Only the course's participants can be added: ids the page doesn't offer (not enrolled, or already members) and members not in it are left as they were and named in changed. Returns the members afterwards.

moodle set-group-members <groupId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
groupId	number
--add	number[]
--remove	number[]

setGroupingGroups

moodle set-question-status <questionId> <status>

Argument	Type	Description
questionId	number
status	"ready" | "draft"

setQuizOverride

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
userId	number
--open	Date
--close	Date
--time-limit-minutes	number
--attempts	number

setQuizPages

Sets a quiz's pages: perPage questions a page (0 for all on one), as the edit page's "Repaginate" does, or page breaks exactly after the given slots (and nowhere else), as its page break icons do one by one.

moodle set-quiz-pages <activityId> --options

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
--per-page (required)	number

setUserRoles

Sets a user's roles in a course, as the participants page's roles column does: gives the roles in roleIds the person may assign, and takes away the others the person may assign. Roles the person can't assign that the user already holds, and those from elsewhere (a category, an enrolment that protects them), stay. Returns the user's roles afterwards, as that column shows them. Throws EnrolmentError with Moodle's reason for a role the person can't assign or a user not enrolled.

moodle set-user-roles <courseId> <userId> <roleIds>

Argument	Type	Description
courseId	number
userId	number
roleIds	number[]

setWorkflowState

Sets the marking workflow state of participants' submissions, as the grading table's "Set marking workflow state" does; "released" shows them their grades, notifying them when notify is true (the form's default is not to). With several markers, it sets the submission's overall state.

moodle set-workflow-state <activityId> <userIds> <state> [--options]

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
userIds	number[]
state	"inmarking" | "readyforreview" | "inreview" | "readyforrelease" | "released"
--notify	boolean

setWorkshopPhase

Switches a workshop to a phase, as its page's phase links do, confirming Moodle's question (any phase, forwards or back; Moodle allocates nothing and calculates no grades on its own when it switches). Returns a sentence of what changed and the phase afterwards. Throws WorkshopError when the person can't switch the workshop's phases (Moodle's mod/workshop:switchphase, a teacher's) or the id isn't a workshop's.

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
--accept-statement	boolean

Argument	Type	Description
activityId	number
responses	Record<string, string>
--type	SurveyType

unenrolUser

Unenrols a user from a course: removes every enrolment of theirs the person may remove (its unenrol link on the participants page), with their roles and group memberships in the course, as that link does. changed and removed say which ones (by enrolment method's name), kept those the person may not remove (a cohort sync, another teacher's method).

userById

A user by id, or undefined when there's nobody: no such user, one the person may not see, or a deleted account. Moodle keeps a deleted account's record and its user service still gives it to an administrator, renamed, with the email replaced by an MD5 hash of the old username (delete_user, confirmed empirically on the sandbox, 5.2); the driver treats it as gone.

whoAmI

moodle who-am-i [courseId]

workshopInfo

A workshop's phase, and its report as the workshop's page shows it to a teacher: every submission (its author, title, and grade once calculated) and every assessment (reviewer, the submission's author, the grade it gives, its weight, the grade for assessing once calculated), all of its pages. The report is Moodle's own: it shows from the submission phase on to those who can see every submission, in the course's current group; for anyone else the lists are empty. Grades are out of the workshop's grade for submission, as Moodle shows them. Throws WorkshopError for an activity that isn't a workshop the person can view.
