Changelog

This is a full rewrite of the existing plugin, transforming it from a flexible but limited automatic user deletion tool into a fully-fledged user lifecycle workflow engine. All original features are still available but now embedded into a powerful framework that allows you to define your own multistep workflows and can easily be extended.

Check out our new online documentation for more information about the new plugin features as well as screenshots and examples.

Short summary of the changes:

  • Introduce a new workflow-based user lifecycle engine that replaces the pre-defined steps.
    • Workflows consist of one or more steps that are executed sequentially.
    • Each step can have one or more filters that determine which users are selected for the step and one or more actions that are executed for each selected user.
    • Multiple workflows can coexist, targeting different user groups and performing different actions.
  • Create fully-featured UI for editing workflows, steps, filters, and actions directly via the Moodle admin page.
  • Add user filter subplugins for effectively targeting users. Available core filters:
    • Authentication method
    • Cohort membership
    • Date
    • Last access to site
    • Role assignment
    • Suspension state
    • Time delay
  • Add action subplugins to perform various operations. Available core actions:
    • Anonymize user account (GDPR compliance)
    • Delete user
    • Send mail to user
    • Suspend user
    • Unsuspend user
  • Allow use of dynamic variables (e.g., user first and last names) in email templates.
  • Enable insight into which users are currently being processed by which workflow and step.
  • Create a complete and filterable action log to audit workflow operations.
  • Write a comprehensive online documentation for users, administrators, and developers.

ATTENTION: This release drops support for Moodle <= 4.4 and PHP <= 8.0. Since this version, Moodle >= 4.5 (LTS) and PHP >= 8.1 are required.

Migrating from v1 to v2

If you are migrating from an existing v1 installation to v2, everything will be migrated automatically for you ❤️ If you instead wish to start from scratch simply disable and delete the migrated workflow and create a new one.

This means:

  • A new workflow that matches your existing configuration will be created.
  • All configured filter rules (e.g., inactivity threshold, authentication method) will be translated to the new filters including all their settings.
  • All configured actions (e.g., sending warning emails, anonymizing users) will be translated to the new actions including all their settings.
  • All existing action log entries will be migrated.
  • If warning mails were enabled, all users that did already receive a warning mail but are still within their grace period will, be migrated to the new workflow and keep their grace period.
  • If the plugin was previously enabled, the new workflow will likewise be enabled.
  • If the plugin was previously disabled, the new workflow will be created but remain disabled. You can enable it whenever you like.

Even though the migration process was tested with utmost care, we still recommend to if the migrated workflow is as expected.
