Public bug reported:

Hi,

When trying to csv add users to a group in Mahara 1.6.3, the upload
fails if some of the users on the list don't have accounts. If the same
csv list is used to add users to Mahara (create accounts) to resolve the
missing users it fails because some of the users already exist. We have
thousands of users, and while adding new student cohorts on an annual
basis is easy, sorting staff who have accounts from those who don't is a
major job.

Ideally if a csv upload is used to create new users it should give the
option to update records or ignore users if the details match an
existing account, allowing user lists to be updated and managed on a
regular basis.

Regards, Gordon.
