Moodle -> gApps SSO Update
This last week I’ve managed to get all my groups from year 3 to year 6 signed up for our Google Apps domain, using the Moodle SSO to create the accounts.
Mostly, this has been a straightforward exercise, but every now and then, an account pops up that just won’t create in Google. If I go to the gApps control panel, and try to add the user manually, I get “the user already exists”, but it doesn’t appear in the user list.
Solution – GAM – http://code.google.com/p/google-apps-manager/
I can create the problem users in GAM, and suddenly everything works. How odd!

Quick question – do you know if it’s possible to only synch some of our Moodle users to Gmail? We are a K-12 school and have all our staff and students on Moodle, but we only want to provide Gmail accounts for our Year 5 to 12 students – not for K to Year 4 and not for staff.
At the moment, everytime I turn User Synch on, Moodle queues up all Moodle users for synchronisation…
