Bulk Users

Bulk Users lets you generate many user accounts at once instead of creating them one by one. It is the practical way to give access to large groups — conference attendees, camp or hotel periods, corporate training sessions.

How do I open this screen? From the left menu, go to Guests → Bulk Users.

Bulk Users screen

Table columns

TITLE: the name of the bulk-user batch.
DESCRIPTION: free text describing the batch.
GROUP: the group the generated users belong to. Duration, quota and speed rules come from it.
BULK USER CODE: the code identifying the batch.
USER COUNT: the total number of accounts generated.
IDLE: how many accounts nobody has used yet.
IN USE: how many accounts have been taken up — this is how you see how many people actually connected during an event.

New Bulk User

Use the New Bulk User button to generate a new batch. You set the title, description, group and the number of users to create. The system generates the usernames and passwords automatically.

Choosing the group matters: since duration and quota rules come from the group, pick one that matches the length of the event. For a two-day conference, for example, use a group with two days' validity (Guests → Groups).

Ticket Design

The Ticket Design button edits the template the generated username/password pairs are printed on. Print it, cut it up and hand the slips to attendees.
