The User Groups feature in FoxLMS allows you to organize learners into structured groups for easier management. Instead of managing students individually, administrators and instructors can assign users to groups to automatically enroll in courses and deliver targeted learning experiences.
This feature is especially useful for schools, companies, and training programs that work with multiple teams, classes, or departments.
How to Create a User Group #
In order to create a user group, first of all, make sure to have the Pro Version of the FoxLMS plugin.
In the admin dashboard, you will see the Groups submenu available. Move to the Groups submenu and click on the Add New button to create a new group.
After clicking the Add New button, a set of configuration options will appear, allowing you to define and customize your User Group. These settings help you specify the group name, assign users, and connect courses to the group.
General #
- Title – Write the title of the user group you are going to create
- Description – You can write a description for the group.
- Select Courses – This feature allows you to select and assign the courses that should be available to the students within the group.
Courses Table #
In this section, you will see a table for all the courses included in the group. The following information will be available:
- Course Title – Displays the name of the course, helping you quickly identify the included courses in the group.
- Lessons Count – Shows the total number of lessons included in the course.
- Quizzes Count – Indicates the number of quizzes assigned within the course.
- Date Created – Displays the date when the course was added to the group.
- Remove – Have the ability to remove the exact course from the group.
Besides adding courses, of course, you will be able to add users to the group as well.
Select Users – This option allows you to choose which users will be included in the User Group.
Students Table #
After selecting the registered students, another table will be visible, displaying all the students included in the group. The following data will be displayed in the table:
- Student Name – Displays the full name of the student assigned to the User Group, allowing you to quickly identify individual learners.
- Student Email – Shows the email address of the student.
- Date assigned – Indicates the specific date when the student was added to the User Group, helping you track enrollment history.
- Remove – Provides the option to remove a student from the User Group.
After clicking the Save button, all chosen students will be automatically enrolled in the courses assigned to the group.
Besides this, you can also check the list of students from the current list in the Students submenu. Choose the needed Group and only the members of the given group will be displayed.
