Set up initial administrators and course creators:

• Log in as the original administrator created when you installed Moodle.
• Create initial users. These should be people who will help configure and build the site. Don’t rely on the original administrator to be the only one.
• Go to Users > Permissions > Assign system roles.
• Assign Admin privs to those initial users who should be site-wide admins.
• Assign Creator privs to those initial users who will be creating courses.

Check the security settings:

• Go to Security > Site Policies
  The default site policies are OK for many sites. Check the following:
  • Open to Google?
  • Maximum upload file size?
  • Site policy page?
    You might want to create a page that defines the agreement with your users. Set the URL here.
  • Set password policy?
    You might want to require that users have “strong” passwords.
• Go to Security > HTTP Security
  You might want to make the login page secure with https. Read the warning, however.
• Go to Security > Notifications
  If you want to be notified when users have problems logging in, set these parameters.
