# Automatic creation of user accounts

IMS Enterprise enrolment data typically describes a set of users. If this setting is turned on, accounts can be created for any users not found in Moodle's database.

Users are searched for first by their "idnumber", and second by their Moodle username.

# Passwords

Passwords are not imported by the IMS Enterprise plugin. We recommend using Moodle's authentication plugins to authenticate users.
