1 <h1>SourceID as fallback
</h1>
2 <p>In IMS data, the
<strong><sourcedid
></strong> field represents the persistent ID code
3 for a person as used in the source system. The
<strong><userid
></strong>
4 field is a separate field which should contain the ID code used by
5 the user when logging in.
</p>
6 <p>In many cases these two codes may be the same - but not always.
</p>
7 <p>Some student information systems fail to output the
<userid
> field.
8 If this is the case, you should activate this setting to allow for using the
9 <sourcedid
> as the Moodle user ID.
</p>
10 <p>Otherwise, leave this setting turned off.
