- Reorganization of domain configuration categories requires additiional
  documentation files for Domain Coordinators.

    1: \label{Domain_Configuration_Selfenrollment}
    2: Ordinarily, course personnel (e.g., Coordinators) have the right to configure
    3: self-enrollment settings in a course to determine which types of LON-CAPA user 
    4: (if any) may request enrollment in their courses (and when), and how such requests
    5: will be handled.
    6: 
    7: However, the domain can be configured such that control of self-enrollment
    8: in courses is a domain coordinator action. Control over self-enrollment is very
    9: granular - each of the seven settings can be set, by default, to be under the
   10: control of domain coordinators, or under the control of course coordinators.
   11: In addition domain-wide default settings can be overridden for each of the 
   12: seven, on a course by course basis, by using the ``View or modify a course or community''
   13: utility from the Domain Coordinators' main menu, to select a course, in which
   14: to set different choices.
   15: 
   16: The seven self-enrollment settings are:
   17: \begin{itemize}
   18: \item Users allowed to self-enroll
   19: \item Registration status (official courses)
   20: \item Dates self-enrollment available
   21: \item Access dates for self-enrolling users
   22: \item Self-enrolling users' section
   23: \item Processing of requests
   24: \item Enrollment limit
   25: \end{itemize}
   26: 
   27: The options for processing of self-enrollment requests are to: (a) process automatically, 
   28: (b) queue pending approval, and (c) queue pending validation.
   29: 
   30: In the case of self-enrollment queued pending validation, the validation itself can be  
   31: carried out via an external validation server/script.  Validation is configured at the 
   32: domain level, by providing: (a) the web address of the validation server (and/or script),
   33: the form fields to send to the validator -- one or more of: username, domain, six-character
   34: code, course Id, coursetype (i.e., official, unofficial, community, or textbook course),
   35: and course descripton (i.e., title).  The text used for the button displayed when a student
   36: has submitted a self-enrollment request (for validation), as well as accompanying text (HTML 
   37: format) can also be set in the domain configuration.
