Moodle Administrators – Merge User Accounts to clean up the database easily

Moodle LMS is used by more than 365 million users around the world. The flexibility for customization offered by Moodle LMS is unbeatable by any other open source LMS. However, the Moodle administrators struggle with cleanup of the Moodle database over a long time. In this post, we will see how you can clean up the user accounts in your Moodle site.

There may be times that you have got multiple accounts created for a single user in Moodle. On top of that they have recorded some progress in both of their user accounts. It will be a huge problem for the Moodle Admins to keep their progress from both accounts and then remove any one account.

The merge User Accounts plugin is a perfect fit for this specific scenario. It will help you to merge two Moodle user accounts into one. You can get the latest version of this plugin from the official plugins repository here.

The plugin will assign all activity & records from user A to user B. After merging the user account, the User B will keep record of all progress ever made by the user in Moodle. This plugin can help you significantly reduce the unnecessary users created in your Moodle records.
