SOP on how to bulk upload and enroll users if you already added users to the system

The principle stays the same, does not matter what moodle version you are using.

1. Under the site administration block section, pick users, then accounts, then choose bulk user action.
2. 
3. You will have a list of users, and you will need to download them to a excel spreadsheet.
4. Select all users, and click “add to selection”
5. 
6. Now look for admin user and remove that user from the selection, we do not enroll the admin user anywhere.
7. 
8. Now pick download and click “go”
   
9. You now have to download the list of users preferably in CSV format if it asks you which format.
10. 
11. Open the CPV file
12. 
13. Just remember that when you open a CSV file, excel usually converts telephone numbers. Just check that the numbers are correct before you save the file again before you upload it.
    
    
14. Make sure it is small letters in the column headers
15. 
    
    
16. Now delete the id field in the excel spreadsheet also.
17. 
18. 
19. Now save the file and make sure it is a csv file.
20. Go back to Moodle and click on upload users.
     
21. Click on choose a file and pick the CSV file you made. Also set the rows to maximum so you can see all the users. Then click upload.
22. 
23. You will now see the list and if the users were already on your system, it would say in the last column, there is a duplicate address or give you another message if there is something wrong in that specific field. 
24. 
25. Upload type you select “Add new only”. If you did not add a password field you select "Create password if needed". Also click the "submit" button at the bottom.
26. 
27. 
    
    
28. You will see the summary with the users that have been added.
29. 
30. Now click Continue to finish the process.
