We could probably take a note from Moodle on this one. It lets you
upload a file that contains a mix of new and existing users, and then it
prompts you for whether you want to:

- Add all, append number to usernames if needed

- Add new and update existing users

- Update existing users only

See
http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/admin/tool/uploaduser/index#Updating_users_preview
. Moodle also lets you delete users via CSV.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  csv import users fails if list includes new and existing users

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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.
