Creating Users

  2. Click the Users tab at the top of the screen
  3. Click Add New Users
  4. If you are adding more than 500 users, you should use the Import Users feature in the next section.

    1. Language: Set the learner's language
    2. Sign-Language Interpreter: Select yes if this list of learners will all require a Sign-Language Interpreter
    3. User Authentication: Will these users be authenticating via Username and Password, or are they authenticating via SSO 
  8. You can add one email at a time or paste a list. A space, comma, or semicolon should separate emails.  Press enter to confirm each selection.
  9. Once you've added all your users, click Proceed
  10. The system will scan your list and will alert you if there are duplicate emails, emails that already exist in the system, or if any email is invalid

    Resolve these issues by fixing the typos or removing the duplicate emails, and click Proceed to add your list of users.
  11. Once your list is free of errors, clicking Proceed will take you to a Confirmation screen that will display how many learners you're adding and which attributes will be assigned. Review and click Cancel to start over or Confirm to proceed.

    2. Non-SSO User Import
  2. Check your spelling!  Spelling errors, misplaced @ symbols, and other minor typos can lead to an error report.
  3. You'll also want to double-check the exact team names if assigning learners to a team.
  4. Once your data is entered, save your file to your desktop or somewhere you'll remember.

Note: The upload feature has a 5000-user max limit. If you need to upload more than 5000 users, you'll need to create multiple templates in batches of 5000.
