If you're required to upload multiple users onto your LMS at the same time, you can do this via the Bulk upload tool. This is done through a text (CSV) file.
You can use the template attached at the bottom of this page if you would like to bulk upload users to your LMS.
These are the 4 required fields for doing bulk uploads:
username: only alphabetical lowercase letters, numbers, hyphen (-), underscore (_), period (.), or at-sign (@).
Most clients prefer using the email address as the username to simplify the process
firstname: only text (capitals allowed)
lastname: only text (capitals allowed)
email: name@example.com
You can also add the following optional fields:
password: alphabetical lowercase/uppercase letters, numbers, hypen (-), underscore (_), period (.), or at-sign (@).
department: Upload users into existing user segments. Use the User Segment Short name as the field value.
profile_field_profile_field_shortname: Upload custom profile field information.
course1: Upload users to existing courses. Use the course shortname as the field value.
group1: Upload users to existing course groups. Use course group shortname as the field value.

*Note: You will need to indicate that you have included a password in your file when defining your upload settings during the bulk upload - instructions follow at the end of the guide.
