Edit profile screen when new user logs in for first time

Edit profile screen when new user logs in for first time

Hello

I am testing the upload users from a file option in moodle. I use LDAP authentication for my users and everything seems to work well and as I would expect. I have noticed when a new user is created by logging into the moodle database for the first time it prompts the user to edit their profile. Alternatively when I create users from a text file upload the user is not prompted with the edit profile screen but goes directly to the list of courses available. Firstly is the behaviour normal. Secondly is there a way to override this i.e. all new users when they first login are presented with their user profile screen.

Thanks for any advice

Jake

There are several mandatory fields in user profile. If you don't fill them when you create the account, then the user is redirected to the profile page the first time s/he logs in.

If you are creating users from LDAP, then you should map some LDAP attributes to the corresponding user profile fields, like name, surname, email, country and description (I think those are the mandatory fields, but I'm writing from memory, so I could miss one or two).
