      Article Summary

      You may use a external database (of nearly any kind) to control your enrolments. Fields from the external database should contain a field containing a course ID, a field containing a user ID, and optionally a field containing a role. These are compared against fields that you choose in the local course, user tables, and role tables. You can specify the database driver and connection parameters, and use the Test settings to check field mappings and connection to the database are OK.

      It is also possible to create new courses in Totara using the course full name, shortname, course ID, course category from the external database.
