Re: Automatically assigning manager
Well, you could do that, but you would have to remember to update that code after every upgrade. And there's no guarantee it wouldn't have obscure unintended side effects in some scenarios.
Your original idea of a nightly job to fix all the new users was probably better. reportstoid is actually a link to the role_assignments table - when a user is assigned as a manager then you need to assign them as having the staffmanager role in the user context. So for the fields in role_assignments
roleid: the id of the staffmanager role
contextid: from mdl_context, id where contextlevel=30 and instanceid= user id of the subordinate
userid: the manager id (18)
In your case managerpath in pos_assignment is easy, it'll always be /18/x where x is the user id of the subordinate
As long as the pos_assignment and role_assignment records are set up properly most functionality should work OK.
Re: Automatically assigning manager
Rather than trying to hack the table at a low level, you would be better off using the assign_user_position() function. That will handle all the low level stuff like paths and role assignments. You could look at the usage in /user/position.php and write a script that makes use of it.
