Registering new users
Every student must be registered as a user on the race server. You can also add your colleagues as staff users (administrators or Teaching Assistants).
At the end of the set-up phase, there will be one admin user in the system.
There are two ways to register new users:
-
Add a single user
Fill in a form on the webserver to add a new user — this is useful for adding staff accounts or late-joining students. -
Load students from a spreadsheet
Create a spreadsheet of enrolled students — if you’re using a system like Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard can extract something suitable from that — save it as a CSV file, and upload it. You’ll need to make sure you have the right columns, but the race server has a utility to help you with that.
Once users are registered, you can change their details or suspend them: see user management.
