[LON-CAPA-admin] Need to get a list of classes with auto-enrollment removals enabled

Hi,

> enrollment setting "Removals based on classlist changes" Enabled?

If you encountered a situation where students were dropped because  
they no longer appeared in the official classlists then you could use  
a shell session on your library server to display the contents of  
/home/httpd/perl/logs/autoenroll.log

Entries for courses with auto-enrollment active will appear as:
Messages start for <courseID>

Messages end for <courseID>

If drops are active, and a student role was expired you will see an  
entry such as:

"User <username> student role expired from course." between the start  
and end lines for the course.

However, to generate a definitive list of which courses have  
auto-drops enabled, unless you want to run a custom script on your  
library server, you would unfortunately need to display  
auto-enrollment settings individually for each of your Spring 2012  
courses.

To do this using the web interface ...

(a) Log-in to LON-CAPA and select the Domain Coordinator role.
(b) Main Menu -> View or modify a course or community
(c) In the course selector use "Official course: Yes" and select 2012  
and Spring for Year/semester. Click "Search"
(d) Leave the default of "View or modify course settings which only a  
Domain Coordinator may modify" selected, and click "Select" for one of  
the courses.
(e) Click "Display current settings for automated enrollment"

Repeat steps (d) and (e) for the other spring 2012 courses.
