Enroll existing users into new course and send them message

Enroll existing users into new course and send them message

We use Moodle version 2.6.11. Almost 1000 students are registered on our site. recently we introduced a new course and would like to enroll all these users into it.  The problem is that large number of students doesnt remember their password and username.

              So is there any way to bulk enroll existing users and send them a message similar to the one we send during uploading them. ( message from moodle.php>newusernewpasswordtext). I read that we could do it using flat file but helpful documentation was unavailable.

   Our particular case would also require bulk reset password of all the users.

Hi Joseph!

If the users know their email and your site is able to send messages, you can recommend them to use the "Forgotten your username or password" option to recover these information smile

Other option is the upload users tool for updating some users information (like passwords): https://docs.moodle.org/26/en/Upload_users#Updating_existing_accounts Be careful with this option to avoid loosing data.

Hope this help wink

Kind regards,
