[SOLVED] create many users quickly

[benfindlay]

If I'm setting up a server with client machines or thin clients that will connect into it, is there a way to create many users with limited privilidges in one go, perhaps importing them from a database or csv file? I don't particularly want to set up users individually, one after the other as this will be very time consuming?

Cheers

Cheers, I'll take a closer look at that later!

That program looks great for quickly assigning profiles to existing users, but is there anyway to create say 100 users in one go?

Take for example a school environment with 1000 pupils; is there anyway to create a user account for each student using a database/spreadsheet containing their names in one go, or would I have to setup each user account manually?
