Scenarios for auto-enrollment for courses

This table shows various scenarios you might have in auto-enrolling courses. This assumes you have:

Turned ON the Managed Property, AutoEnrollAssignedCourses, and
You have set up a rule in the Assign Course area.

As described above, three very important settings come into play when auto-enrolling courses. The Managed Property settings are site wide so they affect all Orgs and can only be turned on or off by your global administrator.

Scenario	Course Self-Register Check Box	Auto Enrollment for Matching Sub-Orgs Check Box	Managed Property IgnoreSubOrgRestrictionsForCoursesInCatalog

To auto enroll users in a particular sub-org, but also allow anyone else to see it in their catalog to enroll in if they want	ON	YES	YES
