Uploading a List of Users
To create many users at once, upload a CSV spreadsheet file to the LMS. To begin, click on the Upload Users tab from the Users screen.
Before you upload, make sure you have the appropriate file ready. The uploaded file must be a .csv – comma (,) separated file. This can be created in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. Information can be found below to help format you CSV file for best results.

Updating a User Using the Upload Users Feature
You can update the account information of multiple accounts at once by using active emails in your spreadsheet instead of new emails. Any new information in the spreadsheet will be applied to the existing accounts associated with the active emails used. This feature is useful if you want to change the information of many users at once.
Note: Certain fields cannot be updated for existing users. These include passwords, and email notifications. These fields can only be applied to new users that are being created.
