Question: Moodle and Azure AD integration with Guest Users

[manuel-faria]

Hi,

I would like to know if the Moodle plugin would work for Teams guest users as well.

Thank you, Manuel

Hi @manuel-faria,

I confirm Moodle course and Teams integration works for guest users too.

The test case performed and passed is as follows:

• In Azure AD, add an external user to the hosting tenant as a guest user.
• In the user sync settings in Moodle, enable the option to sync guest users, and run the user sync task to sync the user.
• In a Moodle course that has Teams integration enabled, enrol the user.
• In the Team connected to the course, confirm that the guest user has been added as owner/member, depending on her role in Moodle course and permission settings.
• Login as the guest user to Teams, and access the organisation of the hosting tenant, and confirm the guest user can see and access the Team connected to the Moodle course.

Please note the following limitations:

1. The guest user needs to be from another Microsoft 365 tenant, otherwise the user will not be able to login to Teams to see the list of organisations she is a guest of.
2. The Azure app used for integration needs to be configured to support "Accounts in any organizational directory (Any Azure AD directory - Multitenant)" in the "Supported account types" section of the "Authentication" tab of the app settings, so that accounts from other tenants can make use of the app.
3. Silent SSO in the Moodle tab in Teams may not work for guest users. This means when the guest user tries to access the Moodle tab in Teams, they will see two buttons asking them to "Login to Microsoft 365" or "Login manually". Clicking the first button will log them in, and they will be able to access Moodle tab contents normally from that point.

I hope the instructions are clear.

Regards, Lai

Hi,

I used Microsoft Graph API to invite external guest users. When the users accept the invitation, if the Identities provider is 'mail', then the user is not able to log in to Moodle plugin using "Login to Microsoft 365".

The user is able to login to Teams, just not Moodle. I would like to know what is the issue and the solution please.

Thank you, Minush

Hi,

I synced the guest user in Moodle, but I notice that the guest user created without firstname and lastname, any idea what could be the reason?

Thanks, Azmat
