Uploading Users in Moodle

Step 1: Administrator clicks on Upload Users

As an administrator, go to Site Administration | Users | Accounts | Upload users:
_

Step 2: Add file containing user information

Add a CSV (comma delimited) file to upload. Here and the fields and data for the ff example:

username,password,firstname,lastname,email
jdelacruz, 1JDsecret, Juan, De la Cruz, [email protected]

Tips

  • In field information, avoid special characters like quotes ("") and ň
  • A CSV file can be had from a list on Excel (or any Spreadsheet) by doing “Saved as” and choosing CSV format.
  • Use alphanumeric character combination (capital, number, small letter, special character) for a password.
  • Check settings and default user profile settings. Adjust these settings, only if you're absolutely sure about the need.
  • Additional fields like cohort and course may be added for convenience.
