# mark_course_complete

Mark a participant's course completion by hand (an alias when the server pseudonymizes), as the course completion report's link does: the course's "Manual completion by others" criterion for a role the person holds. Moodle completes the course when the rest of the criteria allow it. Returns their completion afterwards. Confirm with the person first.
