Creating usernames in bulk?

[janna]

Hi!
Just a question around process. If I want to manage a lot of KoBoToolbox users/usernames/passwords for my organisation, I’ve always just created the users linked to a single email address, and then can manage them from there.

However - I was wondering if there’s a way to do this in bulk. For example - right now, I might be only adding 2 or 3 at a time, so it isn’t a big deal to create the new accounts one by one. But over time, this becomes a bit time consuming.

Does anyone have a way to create users/passwords in bulk, for example from an Excel file, etc?

Thanks so much in advance!

@janna, this feature is present with the self hosted server but not with the publicly available servers. Maybe you could follow the discussions that has happened previously:

Uploading users in bulk in Django

You could create a spreadsheet with the following structure for creating new users (let’s call it users.csv): username first_name last_name email johndoe John Doe johndoe@gmail.com … … … … And a second sheet with your projects and permissions for each user (let’s call it permissions.csv): username project_uid permission johndoe qW…

Thanks @Kal_Lam, that’s good to know it’s not available on the main service. Do you know if it’s on the roadmap for the future? Or not…
Thanks so much!

Hi @janna, AFAIK this isn’t on the roadmap, but we can look into how this would work for the future.
