| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''Users in Moodle'''

|-
| 00:06
| In this tutorial, we will learn how to:

Add a '''user'''

Edit a '''user’s profile'''

Upload '''users''' in bulk

|-
| 00:17
| This tutorial is recorded using:

'''Ubuntu Linux OS 16.04'''

'''Apache, MariaDB and PHP''' obtained through''' XAMPP 5.6.30'''

'''Moodle 3.3''' And

'''Firefox '''web browser

You can use any web browser of your choice.

|-
| 00:43
| However, '''Internet Explorer''' should be avoided, as it causes some display inconsistencies.

|-
| 00:51
| Learners of this tutorial should have some '''courses''' created on their '''Moodle''' website.

If not, please refer to the previous''' Moodle''' tutorials on this website.

|-
| 01:05
| Switch to the browser and login to your '''Moodle''' website, using your '''admin username '''and '''password'''.

|-
| 01:14
| Now. we will learn how to create a new '''user''' in '''Moodle'''.

|-
| 01:19
| In the '''Navigation block''', click on '''Site Administration''' and then on the '''Users '''tab.

|-
| 01:28
| Click on''' Add a new user '''option.

|-
| 01:32
| I will enter the '''username''' as '''adminuser2.'''

|-
| 01:37
| Scroll down to the '''New Password''' field.
Click on the link '''Click to enter text'''.

|-
| 01:45
| Please note- the '''password''' must follow the rules as shown here.

|-
| 01:51
| I will enter '''Spokentutorial1@''' as my '''password'''.

|-
| 01:57
| Click on the checkbox '''Force password change'''.

|-
| 02:02
| This forces the new '''user''' to change his/her '''password''' when he/she logs in for the first time.

|-
| 02:10
| Enter rest of the details as per your preference, as shown here.

|-
| 02:16
| In the '''Email display''', note that I have selected '''Allow everyone to see my email address'''.
This is because I am going to make this '''user '''as an '''admin user '''later.

|-
|02:30
| But this is best avoided for other '''users '''like '''teachers '''and '''students'''.

|-
| 02:37
| We will leave the '''City/Town '''field as blank for now. We will update this later, when we edit this '''user.'''

|-
| 02:47
| Then select country and timezone, as shown here.

|-
| 02:52
| Let all the remaining fields be set to default.

|-
| 02:56
| Then scroll down and click on '''Create user''' button.

|-
| 03:01
| We now have 2 '''users'''.
Click on the '''System Admin2 user '''which we created just now.

|-
|03:10
| We can edit this '''user’s profile''' by clicking on the '''Edit Profile''' link on the right.
Let us enter '''Mumbai''' in the '''City/Town''' textbox.

|-
|03:22
|Then scroll down and click '''Update profile''' button. Likewise, we can edit any detail for any user.

|-
| 03:33
| Look at the 3 icons to the right of this new '''user'''. Hover over them to see what each of them does.

|-
| 03:43
| The '''delete''' icon will delete the '''user'''.

Please note:

Deleting a user will delete all the '''user''' data, including his/ her course registrations, grades etc.

So, this option should be used with extreme caution.

|-
| 04:03
| The '''eye''' icon will suspend the '''user'''. Suspending a '''user '''would mean deactivating his/her account.

|-
| 04:13
| So, the '''user''' will no longer be able to login, but his/ her registrations, grades, etc., are all kept intact.

|-
| 04:24
| This is a better thing to do rather than deleting the '''user'''.

|-
| 04:29
| It saves the records for future purposes and you can activate the '''user '''back, whenever you want to.

|-
| 04:37
| Next is the '''gear''' icon. This will take us to the '''Edit profile '''page.

|-
| 04:43
| Note that '''delete '''and '''suspend '''icons are not shown next to the '''Admin User'''.

|-
| 04:51
| This is because the '''main system administrator '''can never be deleted or deactivated.

|-
|04:59
| Now, let us learn to add '''users '''in bulk, that is, in one go.

|-
| 05:05
| For this, we have to upload a file with certain data in a particular format. The accepted file type is '''CSV'''.

|-
|05:16
| I’ll open the''' user-details-upoad.csv '''file which I have already created for demonstration.

|-
| 05:25
| I’m using '''LibreOffice Calc''' - which is the spreadsheet component of''' LibreOffice Suite'''.

|-
| 05:32
| This file has the following columns:

'''username'''

'''password'''

'''firstname'''

'''lastname'''

'''email'''

These 5 fields are mandatory fields.

|-
| 05:47
| There are some more fields here, which are optional:

'''institution'''

'''department'''

'''phone1'''

'''address'''

'''course1'''

'''role1'''

|-
| 05:58
| Note that the '''field titles''' have to be exactly as written in this spreadsheet i.e. in lowercase.
Otherwise the upload will throw an error.

|-
| 06:11
| If we have only one '''course '''in which to enrol the '''user''', we will suffix '''1 '''in the '''fields title'''.

|-
| 06:19
| If there are more '''courses '''you want to enrol the '''users '''to, add more columns with '''course2, role2,''' etc.

|-
| 06:29
| Please note:

You should input '''Course short name''' in the '''course1''' field and '''Role short name '''in the '''role1 '''field.

|-
| 06:39
| The '''Role short name''' for a student is '''student''' and for a teacher is '''editingteacher'''.

|-
| 06:47
| We will have 3 '''users''' in this CSV file:

'''System Admin2 '''user which has already been created manually
One user with only 5 mandatory fields to show that other fields are optional and
One user with all details.

|-
| 07:08
| This CSV file is available in the '''Code files''' section of this tutorial. You can download and use it.

|-
| 07:17
| The '''Additional Reading Material '''of this tutorial has more information about the CSV file creation.

|-
| 07:25
| Now let’s go back to the browser window.

|-
|07:29
| Click on '''Site Administration''' in the '''Navigation block'''.

|-
|07:34
| Then click on the '''Users''' tab. In the '''Accounts''' section, click on '''Upload Users'''.

|-
|07:43
| Click on '''Choose a file '''button. A new pop-up window opens with the title '''File picker'''.

|-
| 07:51
| Click on '''Upload a file''' link in the left menu, if the pop-up window is not on that link already.

|-
| 07:59
| Click on '''Browse / Choose a file''' button, whichever appears on your interface. Browse to the saved folder and select the '''CSV''' file.

|-
| 08:11
| We will let all the other fields remain as default.

|-
| 08:15
| At the bottom of the page, click on''' Upload this file '''button.

|-
| 08:21
| The same screen refreshes, with the filename now written in the text area.

|-
| 08:27
| The button at the bottom, has now changed to '''Upload users.'''Click on this '''Upload users''' button.

|-
| 08:35
| The next page shows a preview of the users that we are uploading. Verify that the values are correct. Check the '''Settings''' section now.

|-
| 08:48
| The '''Upload type''' dropdown has 4 options.

|-
|08:53
|These 3 options can be used to update the records of existing users. We will select '''Add new only, skip existing users'''.

|-
| 09:05
| This means that if a '''username''' is already existing, it will not be added.

|-
| 09:11
| In the '''New user password''' dropdown, select '''Field required in file'''.

|-
| 09:17
| Under '''Force password change''', select '''All'''.This will prompt all '''users''' to change their '''passwords''' when they login for the first time.

|-
| 09:27
| We will let the other fields in this section remain default.

|-
| 09:32
| Let us look at the '''Default values '''section now.

|-
| 09:36
| Under '''Email display''', select '''Allow only other course members to see my email address'''.

|-
| 09:44
| You can input the default fields, if they are same for all '''users'''. These fields will be used for all uploaded '''users'''.

|-
| 09:55
| I will type '''Mumbai''' in '''City/Town''',

|-
| 09:59
| Next, click on '''Show more…''' There are more fields that we can enter data into.

|-
| 10:07
| But notice that none of them are mandatory. So I will let these remain blank for now.

|-
| 10:15
| At the bottom of the page, click on''' Upload users''' button.

|-
| 10:20
| Look at the status column of the '''Upload users results '''table displayed here.

|-
| 10:27
| For the 1st '''user''', the status message is:

'''User not added - already registered.'''

|-
| 10:35
| This '''user''' already exists in the system, so it was skipped.

|-
| 10:40
| Rest of the '''users''' have been added as '''New users'''.

|-
|10:45
| Look at the status displayed here

|-
| 10:49
| '''Weak passwords''' are the ones that do not follow '''password''' rules.

|-
| 10:54
| Though these will be uploaded in the system, it is always preferable to have strong '''passwords'''.

|-
| 11:01
| Click on '''Continue''' button. Let us view all the '''users '''that we created.

|-
|11:08
|Click on '''Site Administration.''' Then click on the '''Users''' tab. Under the '''Accounts''' section, click on '''Browse list of users.'''

|-
| 11:20
| We now have 4 '''users'''.

|-
| 11:23
| With this we come to the end of the tutorial.

Let us summarize.

|-
|11:29
| In this tutorial, we learnt to:

Add a '''user'''

Edit a '''user’s profile'''

Upload '''users''' in bulk
