To follow this tutorial, ensure you have:

|-
| Screen: Site administration >> Users >> Add a new user
| Let us begin with adding a new '''user'''.

Click on '''Site administration, Users''', and '''Add a new user'''.

|-

|-
|| Type nitya.jeevan

|-

|-

If checked, a '''system-generated password''' will be emailed to this '''user''' along with a notification.

|-
| New password >> Sample@123

Click the eye icon
| Type in a new '''password''' for this new '''user'''.

Follow standard '''password''' rules.

Click the eye '''icon''' to read the typed '''password'''.

|-
| Select '''Force password change''' box
| Selecting '''Force password change''' box is recommended.

It forces the '''user''' to change their '''password''' when he/she first '''logs in'''.

|-
| Screen: Add new user form

First name: Nitya, Last name: Jeevan, Email: nitya@example.com.
| Fill in the '''mandatory fields''' like '''First name, Last name''', and '''Email id'''.

|-

|-

|-
| Point to Nitya
| The new '''user Nitya''' is seen in the '''user list'''.

|-
| Click on Filters >> select Contains >> type Nitya in First name field >> close Filters
| To edit a '''user''', we will use the '''filter options''' to search for '''Nitya'''.

|-
| Screen: Edit user profile >> Add city and country >> click on Update profile.
| Next to her name, click the '''Actions menu''' and then on '''Edit.'''

Add or update any detail and click on '''Update profile.'''

|-
|
| Now let’s learn to '''upload users''' in '''bulk'''.

|-
| Slide: CSV file with column-names
joy.david, Joy@123, Joy, David, joy@example.com, teacher

mahima.singh, Mahima@123, Mahima, Singh, mahima@example.com, student

Create a CSV file with column-names "Username, Password, First name, Last name, Email," and "Role1".
|

|-
| Screen: Upload users page
| From the '''Users''' section, go to '''Upload users.'''

Select the '''CSV file''' and upload it.

|-
| Screen: Confirm upload results
| '''Moodle''' will show a preview list of new '''users'''.

You can verify that''' Joy David''' and '''Mahima Singh''' are added.

|-
| Scroll down >> click on "Upload users"
| Scroll down and click on '''Upload users.'''

|-
| Highlight on the screen
| It says here - '''invalid password policy.'''

Which means, we have to give a better '''password'''.

|-
|username >> joy.david
| Under '''username,''' click on '''joy.david'''

|-
| Click Edit profile >> change the '''password''' to '''David@123''' >> '''Update profile'''.
| Then click '''Edit profile.'''

Change the '''password''' to '''David@123''' and '''Update profile'''.

|-
|
| Click on '''Users''' in the breadcrumbs.

|-
| Point to Nitya, Joy, Mahima

That’s how we add '''users''' in '''Moodle'''!
