About
Consent Manager works with Moodle’s built-in policies tool. Policies must be configured in a specific way to be usable in external services with Consent Manager.
Note: For more details, refer to the official Moodle documentation on policies.
General policy settings
You can find these settings under Site administration > Users > Privacy and policies > Policy settings.
Site policy handler – Set this to "Policies (tool_policy)".
Site policy URL – This setting is ignored once tool_policy is selected.
Site policy URL for guests – This setting is ignored once tool_policy is selected.
Manage and create policies
Once tool_policy is enabled, you can manage and create policies under Site administration > Users > Privacy and policies > Manage policies.
All existing policies are listed here. You can also add new policies.
