2.10. Creating users in Bulk ¶

OnTask offers the possibility of creating users in bulk through given the data in a CSV file through the following steps:

Create a CSV file (plain text) with the initial line containing only the word email (name of the column). Include then one email address per user per line. You may check the file initial_learners.csv provided in the folder scripts .
From the top level folder run the command:
```
$ python3 manage.py initialize_db scripts/initial_learners.csv"
```
If you have the user emails in a file with a different column name, you may provide the script that name (instead of the default email using the option -e :
```
$ python3 manage.py initialize_db -e your_email_column_name scripts/initial_learners.csv"
```
If you want to create user accounts for instructors, you need to specify this with the option -i in the script:
```
$ python3 manage.py initialize_db -e your_email_column_name -i scripts/initial_learners.csv"
```
