IOMAD – the Moodle based Multi-tenancy solution has been updated to new version based on Moodle 4.2. The new IOMAD 4.2 introduces some nice new multi-tenant features as well as general cleanup and improved support for PHP 8.0.
IOMAD is a multi-tenancy solution for the business, corporate and workplace markets. It allows you to run a single Moodle installation and cater different companies with completely separate platform such that users from one Company won’t see users from another.
New Features in IOMAD 4.2
The new version adds the following new features:
- Completion overview report: This new report provides a RAG chart for the current state of users and courses, allowing managers to quickly check if their staff are all up to date with all required training and see where training has either expired or is due to.
- Parent company roll-up of reports: Course completion reports and log-in reports will now show an overview for the company managers of parent companies across their own and all child companies. Child companies appear on the department picker, and there is an option in the filters to switch between these views.
- Added per tenant SMTP settings: This allows the site administrator to define different outgoing email configuration settings for different tenants while retaining the default site settings for everyone else.
- Training event attendance condition: A new condition has been added so that activities and resources within a course can be made available to users who have successfully signed up for a training event.
- IOMAD SAML2 plugin: We have converted the SAML2 authentication plugin so that it will work with different configurations for different tenants. This provides the same configuration as already exists for the IOMAD OIDC authentication plugin for the SAML2 authentication methods.
There are other various improvements and fixes. Complete details are mentioned in the release notes here. For more details about IOMAD, please check out the official website here.
IOMAD is an open source option for the users who are looking to implement a single Moodle installation to cater for various companies. Other options include Moodle Workplace which is an official solution from Moodle HQ.
