In this chapter, you will learn how to manage users in your Moodle system. We will first look at what information is stored for each user and how we can extend their profiles. We will then perform a number of standard user actions. Finally, we will deal with a wide range of user authentication mechanisms, before concluding the chapter with a best practice section. To summarise; we will cover the following topics:
User profiles
Standard user actions (manual and bulk)
Manual accounts (including batch upload)
User authentication
Usernames best practice
A lot to take in, so we'd better get going!
