Create external users in Moodle

If you never have done this, you need to ask for user creation rights. 

Please note, that the Compliance with data protection rules (including the applicable laws) is the responsibility of all Members of CEU Community who process personal data (who initiated the creation of external accounts in Moodle). Make sure, that the users gave consent to the storage, management, and processing of their personal data. Make sure that personal data is kept only for the period that is required to fulfill the purposes it has been collected for. You need to ask for the deletion of the accounts if these are no longer needed.

The full Data Protection Policy of CEU is available here: https://documents.ceu.edu/documents/p-1805

Two methods are available for the user creation:

I. Upload the new users with a CSV file

• The accounts are created automatically and immediately
• Emails are sent to the new users
• Email addresses, and names are needed in an excel (CSV) file
• It is more complicated to create the file correctly, but it is easier to handle a large amount of users

II. Invite the new users by email address

• An Invitation is created, the users need to register to get accounts
• You can decide if you want the system to send an automatic email or you can invite the users yourself
• Only email addresses are needed
• It is really easy to invite the users, but large amount of users are harder to handle
