    Description

      When using Upload users (https://docs.moodle.org/37/en/Upload_users), we would like to bulk assign roles (e.g. teacher) within a course category. For instance, if in the CSV file we have columns (username, category, role) and one row (MyUser, humanities, teacher), then after creating the user, MyUser should have been assigned teacher role to materials under humanities category.

      Test file upload_users.csv is attached below.
