# ◾ How can I create several user accounts at the same time?

The most efficient way of adding users to the system in batches is via the [Batch User Create (BUC)](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ess-hs/doc/batch-user-create-yYyM1HaA4A) function.


1. Open the **User Manager** module and switch to the **Batch User Create** tab.
2. Click the **Download** button to download the empty template.

   A template downloads in Excel format and contains a header with all data relevant to a user.   

   
:::warning
   ***IMPORTANT:*** Zip file format is also supported (when uploading pictures), but **only the Excel template downloadable from LearningSpace** can be used for Batch User Create purposes – whether as a single Excel or in a zip file. A compatible zip file should be created by selecting all the individual files (i.e., the photos and the Excel sheet) and sending them to a "compressed (zipped) folder", as sending one single folder containing all the files to a zipped folder will result in a format uninterpretable by the system.

3. Click **Next** to move forward to **Step 2** of the process.
4. Click **Browse** to upload the Excel file you filled out and saved on your computer, then click Next at the bottom of the **Step 2** page to proceed.
5. Leave the radio button as the default (Create a new user account for each row) to create a new user for each row of the Excel file, then click **Next**.

   
:::info
   ***NOTE:*** The **Next** button only becomes activated when a file is selected for upload.

   :::

     
   **Step 3** shows how the system will upload the user accounts.

   
:::info
   ***NOTE:*** Hovering over the information icon prompts the tooltip window containing an explanation about the BUC table icons.

   :::

   
:::warning
   ***IMPORTANT:*** If data is missing, the system warns the user about the specific errors in the file on the Step 3 surface. In such a case, the user needs to return to Step 2 and upload the corrected Excel file according to the error messages.

   :::
6. Click **Finalize** at the bottom of the tab.   
   The **Step 4** surface appears with a summary of the number of updated user accounts and, if any, the number of user accounts that have not been uploaded due to accessibility issues.

   
7. Click **Done** at the bottom of the tab to conclude the [Batch User Create process](https://kb.learningspace.elevatehealth.net/s/ess-hs/doc/batch-user-create-yYyM1HaA4A).  
   **Step 1** will be displayed for further possible uploads.
