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)
Step-by-step Guide
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
Note that it is usually not necessary to manually upload users in bulk with Upload users. To keep maintenance work down, you should first consider automating this procedure via the "Automated Upload" functionality provided by Dual Code.

- 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.
