Bulk inactivate users in LMS

Steps to bulk inactivate users in LMS:

  • Prepare the CSV file

    Add a column named:

    suspended

    For users you want to inactivate, set the value to:

    1

    Example:

    username,suspended
    [email protected],1
    [email protected],1
  • Log in as LMS Administrator
  • Go to:

    Site administration > Users > Accounts > Upload users

  • Upload the CSV file

  • On the upload preview page, configure the settings as below:

    Upload type: Update existing users only
    Existing user details: No changes
    Allow suspending and activating of accounts: Yes
    Allow deletes: No

  • Review the preview carefully

    Make sure the correct users are listed and the suspended value is set to 1.

  • Click Upload users to proceed.
  • Once completed, the selected users will be inactivated/suspended and will no longer be able to log in to the LMS.

Recommended: test with 1 or 2 users first before running the full bulk update.
