Add new user

From MoodleDocs

New users can be added on the Site administration block by Users > Accounts >Add new user link. The fields located in a users profile will appear. The required field must be entered before the user will be accepted by Moodle. The new user information is saved by pressing the "Update user" button near the bottom of the form.

Other fields that are part of a user's profile can also be filled out when the user is created. Some of the profile fields can be revealed by pressing the "Show Advanced" button.

Required profile fields

The required fields in a standard Moodle install are:

  • Alex
  • sheep1996
  • alex
  • wilson

The user profile can be edited later.
