Module 2: Security and Access Control

Why This Module Matters to You

This module strengthens your ability to manage Moodle securely across authentication, authorization, configuration, plugins, and operational review processes.

What You Will Be Able to Do

• Review authentication and account-management risks.
• Apply least-privilege thinking to roles and permissions.
• Identify security risks from plugins, integrations, and administrator access.

Topics You Will Practice

• Authentication methods and identity-provider dependencies.
• Administrator accounts, role assignments, and privilege reviews.
• Passwords, MFA expectations, session security, and TLS awareness.
• Plugin risk review and update discipline.
• Audit logs and incident-response handoff.

Hands-On Notes for You

Avoid presenting security as a one-time configuration task. Frame it as a recurring operational process involving policy, review, monitoring, and documentation.
