# ◾ Managing Users

:::tip
It is recommended that a new LearningSpace system be started by creating groups via the Batch User Create function or using [**LDAP authentication**](/doc/how-can-i-configure-ldap-login-wDFHjZNZDI) or [**LDAP synchronization**](/doc/how-can-i-configure-ldap-synchronization-X3J8iyKEEu)**.**

:::


1. Save the template that can be downloaded on the [**Batch User Create**](/doc/e4789910-f669-4241-8091-89895325648d) tab.
2. Use the template for creating several groups of users, and save the excel files by group names.

:::warning
   ***NOTE:*** The J column in the Excel template determines the user's role. In learner and Simulated Patient groups, the role is the same for each member; therefore, it is recommended that column J be filled out.

   :::

   **Codes to be used in the BUC file for specific roles:**
   
   | Role | Code in Excel (column J) |
   |:-----|:-------------------------|
   | Admin | 1                        |
   | Simulated Patient | 4                        |
   | Learner | 8                        |
   | Faculty | 40960                    |
   | Simulation Designer | 134217984                |
   | Scheduler | 134217984                |
   | Operations Specialist | 1074266112               |
   | Facilitator | 1208541568               |
3. Upload your groups via the **Batch User Create** ***(BUC)*** function.  
     


:::success
Role is a parameter that can easily be set to the same value for multiple users; see the [**relevant part about editing multiple users**](/doc/how-can-multiple-users-without-group-connection-be-managed-P83qvqLutc)**.**

:::warning
***NOTE:*** The Batch User Create function can also be used to edit and modify members of the same user group in a batch. For more information, see [How can user accounts be edited in batch](/doc/how-can-user-accounts-be-edited-in-batch-PjVBWKlAFi).
