The upload users tool allows an administrator a System Administrator to perform multiple tasks at once, including but not limited to:
...
- 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.
