Summary

Phew! That was a lot to take in for one chapter. This chapter demonstrated the different ways Moodle provides to manage users. We first looked at what information is stored for each user and how their profiles can be extended. We then performed a number of standard manual and bulk user actions.

We finally dealt with a wide range of user authentication types, before concluding the chapter with a best practice section. The next step is to grant user roles, that is; what they can and cannot do. This will be dealt with in the next chapter.
