Note: You are currently viewing documentation for Moodle 3.3. Up-to-date documentation for the latest stable version of Moodle is probably available here: Manual accounts.

This authentication method requires the administrator to manually create all user accounts. It may be used together with the upload users tool (Site admin > User > Accounts) which uses a text file.

Can you arrange for an e-mail to be sent to notify Users of new accounts?

Not at the moment.

See Feature request here: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-19390

See discussion http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=117005

The discussion here: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=125000 suggests Moodle may send out e-mails under some circumstances with bulk upload of new users.
