Adding a new user

The add a new user page allows you to manually create a new user account. If you create a test account, you can use a made-up email address.

The required field must be entered before the user will be accepted by Moodle. The required fields in a standard Moodle install are: Username, New password, Surname, Email address, City/town, Select a country.

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.

The new user information is saved by pressing the "Update user" button near the bottom of the form.

Note: You can always create new accounts manually, regardless of which authentication method you are using.

Updating a user profile

Users with the capability moodle/user:update are able to update another user's profile i.e. in addition to being able to edit the profile, all settings (username, password, authentication method, force new password etc.) may be changed.

Account disabling

An account may be disabled by setting the authentication method to "No login". The account email may not be used to create another account.
