Añadir usuarios

Users may be added to a Moodle site in a number of ways. When user accounts are created on a site, the process is called Autenticación and when users join a course, the process is called Inscripción. Normally only the administrator is allowed to add users to a site. Course teachers are only able to add students to their course and do not have permission to add users to the site. (If you're a teacher looking for instructions on how to add students to your course, read Añadir estudiantes)

Users sign up to the site themselves

If you wish people to create their own accounts on your sitet, you must enable Email-based self-registration This features is disabled by default because of the possibility of spammers accessing your site.

Signing up for an account

The admin creates accounts manually

This process is called Autenticación manual and is enabled by default on a site. You can lock certain fields, set password expiry dates and other configure other settings from Site administration > Plugins > Authentication >Manual accounts.

As an administrator, you can add users one at a time from Administration>Site Administration>Users>Accounts> Add a new user. See the documentation Añadir un nuevo usuario for more details.

You can also upload users in batches with a CSV file from Administration>Site Administration>Users>Accounts> Upload users See the documentation Subir usuarios for more details.

The CSV file will also upload users directly into courses and groups within those courses. In the example below , new students are added to the site and enrolled in specified groups in two courses, English and Mathematics. (The courses need to exist already, but if the groups do not already exist, Moodle will create them on upload.)

Users may also be added as members of cohorts (site or category wide batches of users.) See Cohortes for more details.
