5.2. External user creation - CSV method
I. Fill out this sample CSV file: sample_user_creation.csv
Each new user needs to be in a new line in the csv.
No fields may contain special accented characters like á, í, ú - you need to trim these for account creation.
username: The user will use this username to log in to the Moodle instance. It needs to be unique. A user's name can only contain alphabetical letters in lowercase, numbers, hyphen
course1: Copy/paste the "short name" of your course into this cell to add the user to the course when created. Make sure that there are no space characters before or after the name. If this is not necessary, you can delete this column. If the user is created, you can assign it to your course manually as well.
role1: student or teacher
Passwords will be created automatically upon creation and sent as an automatic email to the new user (along with the username and site URL). Note: some email providers (hotmail for example) may block or put this email into their spam folders rarely.
II. Upload the CSV file here (administration > users > accounts > upload users.
Direct link: https://ceulearning.ceu.edu/admin/tool/uploaduser/index.php
You just need to drag and drop the csv into the field and click on the "upload users" button. You will see a preview that will indicate if there are any problems with the csv file you need to correct first.
Do not change any of the default settings just click on "upload users".
