Can we import groups and users using one CSV file? Is there any functionality present in Mahara to import groups and users?

Hi Sunil,

There are some features like this. Some of them are in 1.4, but several are new in 1.5.

For users:

http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.5/site_admin/users.html#add-and-new15-update-users-by-csv explains how to import users from scratch with CSV files,

http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.5/site_admin/users.html#add-and-new15-update-users-by-csv explains how to edit users with CSV files,

There's some experimental features for bulk importing Leap2A for users explained at http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.5/site_admin/experimental.html#bulk-import-of-leap2a-files

For groups:

http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.5/site_admin/groups.html#new15-add-and-update-groups-by-csv explains how to use CSVs to put existing users in groups.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Melissa.
