The upload users tool allows an administrator to perform multiple tasks at once, including but not limited to:
- Adding users
- Modifying users
- Suspending or deleting users
- Renaming users
- Resetting users' password
- Enrolling users in courses or programs
- Adding users to cohorts, which can represent groups, departments, institutions or other logical groupings
- Specifying the preferred theme for users (multi-site only)
To upload users:
- Create a CSV (comma separated values) file that contains the user information
- Go to Site administration > Users > Accounts > Upload users
- Add the file to upload
- Follow the instructions

When adding a Date/Time custom user field, the date format must be YYYY-MM-DD. For example, to show a date of September 1, 2017, the date must be 2017-09-01.
Assigning a Theme
If your learning environment has multiple sites (e.g. see /wiki/spaces/Healthcare/pages/34844303), you can specify the theme to be used by individual users by using the "theme" column
theme
Each theme available in your system has a unique identifier, which is displayed in the theme's settings page. Using the example below (see image below), I would enter the value "adaptable" in the "theme" column in the CSV file to associate the user to the Adaptable theme.
Special Fields
...
- For the System Administrator role, use "manager" (without the quotes)
- For the Supervisor role, use "supervisor"
- For the Course Creator role, use "coursecreator"
You can also unassign system roles by entering the same shortname of that role prefixed with a minus symbol: '-'. If the user is currently assigned to that role, they are removed from it. If the user is not currently assigned to that system role, the field value is ignored. However, the field value must refer to a system role that does exist on the system, otherwise an error will occur.
