# How to Add Bulk Users From Edly Panel and the Instructor Dashboard?
## Register Multiple Users and Enroll Learners in Bulk Using Admin Tools
### Overview
To bulk add learners, use the **Edly Panel** for platform-wide account creation or the **Open edX Instructor Dashboard** for course-specific enrollment. The method you choose depends on whether you need to create new user accounts across the entire platform or enroll an existing group into a single course.
## Which method should you choose?
| **Feature** | **Edly Panel (Bulk Registration)** | **Instructor Dashboard (Bulk Enrollment)** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Scope | **Platform-wide:** Affects the whole site. | **Course-specific:** Affects one course run. |
| Primary Use | Creating new accounts for an organization. | Enrolling existing/new users into a class. |
| User Role | Assigns roles like Staff or Admin globally. | Assigns "Learner" or "Beta Tester" status. |
## How do you bulk register learners using the Edly Panel?
Use the Edly Panel when you have a list of new users who need accounts created on your platform.
### Steps
1. Log in to your **Edly Panel**.
2. Navigate to **User Management** \> **Users** from the sidebar.
3. Click the **Bulk Upload** button located at the top right of the user list.
4. **Download the Template:** Click the link to download the sample CSV file.
- *Note: Your CSV must include the following columns: `email`, `username`, `full_name`, and `password` (optional). If `password` is omitted, the system auto-generates one and prompts users to set their own on first login.*
5. Upload your completed CSV file.
6. The system processes the list and displays a results summary showing successful registrations and any errors (for example, "Email already exists"). Review this summary before closing the upload dialog to confirm all users were created.
## How do you bulk enroll learners using the Instructor Dashboard?
Use this method within the LMS to add a group of learners to a specific course.
### Steps
1. Log in to the **Open edX LMS** and open the course you want to enroll learners in.
2. Click on the **Instructor** tab in the top navigation bar.
3. Select the **Membership** sub-tab.
4. Scroll down to the **Batch Enrollment** section.
5. **Enter Data:** You can either:
- Paste a list of email addresses or usernames (separated by commas or new lines) into the text box.
- Upload a **CSV file**: click the **Choose File** button below the text box, select a CSV containing one email address per line, then click **Upload** to load the list.
6. **Configure Options:**
- **Auto-Enroll:** Toggle this to **On** to enroll users immediately.
- **Notify users by email:** Toggle this to **On** to send a system-generated welcome email.
7. Click **Enroll**.
