Add many users to a single group in one action by uploading a CSV file of email addresses. Form LMS checks the list and shows who will be added before anything changes.
✅ Before you start: You need the Site Admin or Admin role. You choose one target group, and everyone in the run is added to it.
⚠️ Important: Adding users to a group with bulk actions does not enrol them on any courses. Auto-enrolment rules on the group are not applied. To enrol the users, use Bulk enrol.
Add users to a group
- Go to People → Users.
- Click the Bulk actions dropdown at the top right and select Add users to group.
- Click Download template to get a blank CSV file. You can also download a list of your current users to edit, based on any filters you have applied.
- Add one email address per row and save the file.
- Click Click to upload, select your completed file, then click Next.
- Choose the group you want to add the users to, then click Next.
- Form checks each user on the Validation step. Review who will be added and who will be skipped, then confirm to start the run.
The task is queued and processed in the background, with a progress screen while it runs. You'll see a summary when it finishes, showing how many users were added and how many were skipped.
💡 Tip: From the summary you can download the results as a CSV. You can also reopen any run from Bulk actions → Bulk actions log.
Something not working?
Users weren't enrolled after being added? Adding users to a group does not apply the group's auto-enrolment rules. To enrol them, use Bulk enrol. See Enrol learners onto a course.
A user was skipped? Check the summary for the reason. A common cause is an email address that doesn't match a user account in your workspace.
