Brightspace offers the ability to bulk enroll or unenroll users in groups using a CSV or TXT file.

This functionality is available within the Groups tool and can be used to both add and remove users from existing groups.

1. Navigate to the Groups tool:

• Go to the Groups tool within your Brightspace course.
• Click the Import button,
• or navigate to the specific Group Category and select Import from the dropdown menu.

2. Prepare the CSV File

The CSV file must contain the following columns: Username, GroupName, GroupCategoryName, and Action (either ENROLL or UNENROLL).

• The file can be created manually or by using the Download template CSV file option available within the Groups tool.
• The required fields are: Action, Username, and Group Code. Other fields are optional.
• If you are unenrolling users, make sure the Action field is set to "UNENROLL".
• Ensure that all fields are comma-separated, and that each line represents one record (one action per user per group).
• This information is also available under "View instructions on creating your CSV file" in the import interface.

3. Import the CSV File:

• Select the appropriate Category if you havent done so already.
• Click Import file to upload the prepared CSV file.

4. Review the Results:

• If the file contains no errors, the enrollments or unenrollments will be processed and the results will be displayed.
• If any errors are found, the process will be halted and you will receive a summary of the error messages.
