Aspire Bulk Import Tool: Using the Manage People Page
Overview
Course managers who have Owner or License Manager permissions can add new people to the Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning platform.
Course managers can use the Bulk Import tool to upload a spreadsheet of participants.
This article describes how to use the Bulk Import tool on the Manage People page, which adds participants but does not automatically assign them licenses.
Before you start:
Do you only need to add a few people? See: How do I add people to my Aspire implementation?
Would you like to add people and assign licenses to them at the same time? See: Aspire Bulk Import Tool: Adding People from a License Set
Course Owners can add new Course Managers to their Aspire implementation.
Applies to: Course managers who have Owner or License Manager permissions for Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning.
Does not apply to: Course managers who have Cohort Manager or View Only permissions or educators who are participants of Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning.

Adding participants with this method does not automatically assign licenses. You will need to assign licenses after you upload your spreadsheet.
New participants will not receive automatic notification of their account creation, license assignment, or login credentials from Aspire or Lexia Learning.
Owners and License Managers: After adding a new participant and assigning them a license, share Aspire First-Time Login with participants. This article explains the steps to log in to Aspire for the first time.
