To automatically add these users to the user group you created, paste the group ID you copied earlier to the Groups column.
Note: To test the notifications sent to the students by the system, type in your email address instead of the dummy email for at least one user. Make sure you entered the correct email address.
Save the file.

- If you want to keep things simple and send only one email notification with a test link to the students, leave the “Send email to newly created users” checkbox unchecked.
- If you want students to receive an email notification that their profile is created, check the “Send email to newly created users” checkbox.
- Click the Save button.
- If you search for your email address, you should be able to see your profile.
