To upload users in bulk, you need to format your list as follows, completing the mandatory fields of username, firstname, lastname, and email:
| username | firstname | lastname | |
| student1 | Student | One | s1@example.com |
| student2 | Student | Two | s2@example.com |
| student3 | Student | Three | s3@example.com |
If you do this from a spreadsheet, save the document as CSV (comma-separated) so it can be imported correctly.
Then, go to Site Administration > Users > Accounts > Upload users and drag the file as shown below:
Change the delimiter to match the one used (usually commas or semicolons) and click Upload users. The system will then show you a preview so you can verify that everything is correct and here you can adjust some configuration values, such as the upload type or whether you want to create automatic passwords.
Click Upload users again to finish. Right here you will see a summary with the number of users updated and any possible errors.
Remember that you can perform this operation not only for adding users but also for modifications, even to enroll users in courses, delete them, or suspend them (the account is maintained but not active and cannot be used to access the system):
- To enroll in courses, add pairs of fields course1, role1, course2, role2 to the CSV file, where course1 is the short name of the course and role1 is Student or Instructor. Add a pair of fields for each course where you want to enroll them
- To delete, add the column deleted, putting a 0 for users to keep and a 1 for users to delete.
- To suspend, add the column suspended, marking 1 for users you want to suspend.
