    Description

      The admin tool upload users https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Upload_users, updates the authentication method for existing users, even when the selected options should not allow it to.

      How to reproduce:

      Create test users using following CSV file:

      username,firstname,lastname,email,auth
      test.account1,Test,Account1,test1@example.com,nologin
      test.account2,Test,Account2,test2@example.com,nologin
      

      Update the same users using following file (same file removed auth column)

      username,firstname,lastname,email
      test.account1,Test,Account1,test1@example.com
      test.account2,Test,Account2,test2@example.com
      

      Change the following options:
      Upload type: Add new and update existing users
      Existing user details: Override with file

      Result:
      Authentication method changed nologin-->manual

      Expected result:
      Authentication method remains nologin.

      Since the auth column is omitted from the uploaded CSV file and the selected option for Existing user details is "Override with file". I expect that it will not change.
