While they have any probation points, they are considered a probationary person and cannot create public pages in their portfolio or post links or images to potentially public content such as comments, wall posts or forum posts.
Each time a probationary person makes a post in a forum, and the post is replied to by a non-probationary person, the probationary person loses one probation point. When the number of points reaches zero, they are no longer on probation.

As administrator you have the power to log in as any person that you manage and masquerade as them.
Bemerkung
Site administrator can log in as anybody while institution administrators can only perform this action for members of their institution(s).
It is a great function for troubleshooting an account because you see everything as the person would without having to know the password.
Warnung
This function can be misused by administrators because you can make changes to the person’s portfolio and artefacts as well as participate in groups while logged in as them. People should be aware of this function and that an administrator can enter their account.
Sites should have clear policies around the use of this function so that the privacy of people and their portfolios and collaborative work is protected. Therefore, there should also not be many people within an institution who have administrator rights.
Log in as another person¶
Click on the person’s name to go to their profile page. You can then click the Log in as … link to become that person from that screen.
Click the Log in as link to become that person. You see a warning bar at the top of the browser window telling you that you are masquerading as that person.
Stop masquerading as another person¶
Wenn Sie wieder zu Ihrem eigenen Account zurückkehren wollen, klicken Sie auf den Wieder [Ihr Name] werden-Link oben auf der Seite.
When the site administrator enabled the logging of all or just masquerading events, administrators may be required to provide a reason for the masquerading and a notification about this may be sent to the account holder.
Provide a reason for masquerading as another person¶
Write why you are masquerading as this person. This reason may be sent to the person if the site administrator demands that.
Click the Continue button to log in as that person.
If the site administrator decided to have account holders notified of the masquerading, you would see the screen notice ‚The person has been notified of this masquerading session.‘
When the site administrator decided to send notifications to people when an administrator logs into their account, the peoples receive this notification in their inbox. Depending on their notification settings, it can also be delivered via email.
Notification a person receives when an administrator masquerades¶
Aktivitätentyp: Die Login-als-Benachrichtigung ist eine Systemnachricht. Wenn Sie eine große Zahl von Benachrichtigungen erhalten, können Sie diese filtern.
Click the bar to see the full text of the message.
The system message ‚An administrator logged in as you‘ contains the name of the administrator and the time when the administrator started masquerading. If the site administrator requires a reason to be sent for the masquerading, it is displayed as well.
The name of the administrator who logged in as you is linked to the profile page for you to find out more about them or send them a message.

When a person has been suspended, the suspension message appears on their account settings page stating the reason and the date for the suspension and giving the administrators the possibility to unsuspend the person by clicking the Unsuspend person button.
You can unsuspend a person from this page or together with others on the Bulk actions page.

Delete an account¶
Click the link Suspend or delete this person. A pop-up windows becomes visible.
Click the Delete account button to delete this account permanently. This action cannot be undone. As this is a permanent action, you see a confirmation pop-up window that you will have to acknowledge.
Warnung

The person’s contributions in groups, e.g. forum messages, uploaded files and pages created in a group, are still available, but are made anonymous by changing the name to ‚Deleted account‘ as author where an author is shown.
Bemerkung
If an account was deleted by accident - either by a person themselves or by an administrator - swift action may result in recovery of (most of) the data from a backup file.

Add people by CSV file¶
Institution: Choose the institution and the authentication method for the accounts that you upload and / or change.
Dateikontingent: Wenn Sie wollen, kann ein angepasstes Dateikontingent für alle Accounts in der CSV-Datei festgelegt werden. Institutionsadministratoren können dies nur dann tun, wenn sie von der Site-Administration das Recht dazu erhalten haben.
CSV-Datei: Sie müssen die CSV-Datei über den Durchsuchen-Button auf Ihrem Rechner suchen und auswählen.
Force password change: If you select this option, people need to change their password before they can log in for the first time.
Email people about their account: Change the switch to ‚Yes‘ and people will receive an email with their account information. This is in particular good for internal accounts.
Bemerkung
For accounts that are managed by an external authentication method such as Moodle or LDAP, do not select this option because the account holders already know their login information.
Update accounts: Change the switch to ‚Yes‘ if your CSV file contains changes for existing accounts.
Bemerkung
When you add a new email address for a person to update the account settings, this new email address becomes the primary email address.
The previously used email address stays in the account as secondary email address until the account holder deletes it.
General account options: Expand this menu to see default account options that you may choose to change while creating or updating accounts. These are the general account options a person can change on the Settings page.
Click the Add people by CSV button to upload and / or change accounts.
Bemerkung
Depending on your server settings and / or the size of your installation, you may not be able to upload all accounts at once. You may wish to upload them in bunches of 100 instead.
A progress bar shows the percentage of the completed upload of your accounts.
11.4.9. Ändern Sie auf einmal die Authentifizierungsmethode und den entfernten Nutzernamen für mehrere Nutzer.¶
Nachdem Sie neue Mitglieder erfolgreich in ihrer Institution hinzugefügt oder eingeladen haben, können Sie deren Authentifizierungsmethode anpassen. Dies kann sinnvoll sein, wenn die Authentifizierungsmethode von der in einer früheren Institution abweicht oder die neuen Accounts mit einem entfernten Nutzernamen verknüpfen wlolen:
LDAP Directory
Moodle-Accounts via MNet
Single sign-on über einen IdP-Provider
Bemerkung
The change in the authentication method for existing accounts should be done before people try to log in with their new credentials to avoid the creation of a second account for them.
You can change the authentication method for multiple accounts at once to save you time manually updating each account. Changing the authentication method usually also entails changing the remote username (a.k.a. username for external authentication). Therefore, these two are dealt with together to describe the work flow better.
Find accounts in an institution to change their remote username¶
Go to Administration menu → People → People search.
Click the Advanced options link to show filter options.
Filter for accounts by specific characteristics, e.g. if you only wish to display peoples who have not logged in yet.
Search: Enter your search term. The default text in the field shows you in which institution context you perform your search. Type the name, display name, username or email address or any partial thereof you wish to search for in the search field. If you turned on the exact search, you need to provide the correct name or email address and not a partial one.
Use the drop-down arrow to choose a single institution in which to search for your person.
Click the Search button to start your search.
Change the Results per page if you wish to see more than 10 results per page.
Select the persons whose authentication method and remote username you want to change by either putting a check mark in the checkboxes or clicking on All to select all accounts on that page.

Update accounts in bulk¶
Click the Download button so that you get a CSV file which contains all necessary information for you to change the remote username in bulk. This is necessary if their internal Mahara username is not the same as the one they use to authenticate on your system that is linked to Mahara or if they already have a remote username that would be incorrect for your institution.
Bemerkung
You do not need to see the column ‚Remote username‘ for the data to be in the CSV download. If you wish to see it on screen, click the Configure report button and select the ‚Remote username‘ column.
Open the CSV file in your preferred spreadsheet software. In the column remoteuser, add or change the username that your account holders have when authenticating in your regular system that you have connected to Mahara. You may also change other fields, e.g. their name, email address etc. If you want to add a new person directly in this CSV file, you can do so as well.
Bemerkung
You must provide a password for a new account. All others do not need to have a value in the password field. If you only want to update existing accounts, you can leave the password field entirely off.
You must remove the column ‚lastlogin‘. Mahara will produce an error if you leave it in the file.
Go to Administration menu → People → Add people by CSV.
Institution: Choose the correct institution and authentication method for which you want to update accounts. This allows you to switch all accounts in the CSV file from one authentication method to another.
File quota: Choose a different file quota here if you want to update it for accounts you upload.
CSV-Datei: Wählen Sie die CSV-Datei auf Ihrem Computer, die Sie angepasst haben.
Update accounts: Switch this option to ‚Yes‘ because you want to update existing accounts.
Bemerkung
Switch the options Force password change and Email people about their account to ‚No‘. When you add a remote username, your account holders do not need to know their internal Mahara password as they cannot use it anyway.
General account options: You can make changes to the default account options for everyone, e.g. give them multiple journals by default, change their interface language etc.
Click the Add people by CSV button to start the update. This process may take a little while depending on how many accounts you are changing.
You receive a report on the page upon the successful completion of the upgrade. If the upgrade fails, error messages help you to resolve the problem. No accounts are updated until all errors are resolved.
Bemerkung
If you intend to update more than 100 accounts at the same time, you may run into problems, and the server may reject your CSV file as the update process is a very memory intense one. If that is the case, you would have to split your CSV file into smaller ones with fewer accounts in them.
Sie können prüfen, ob den Nutzeraccounts die externen Nutzernamen zugeordnet wurden:
Go to Administration menu → People → People search.
Wählen Sie die Institution mit den Mitgliedern, die Sie überprüfen wollen.
Click the Search button to limit your results to this institution.
Select the accounts for whom you want to check the remote usernames.
Click the Get reports button to proceed to the next step. You are taken to the Account reports page.
Sie sehen den externen Nutzernamen in der letzten Spalte.

If you only want to change the authentication method of certain accounts but do not have to worry about a remote username or updating any other information, you can change the authentication method directly on the bulk actions screen.
