Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm a teacher in middle school, and I want to create multiple users in batches.

Describe the solution you'd like
adding users in batches, and handle multiple requests in parallel when multiple users are in use at the same time

CSV import would be a simple way to import users in bulk, 4 columns:

Name	Email	Password	Role

and handle multiple requests in parallel when multiple users are in use at the same time

This is unrelated to the issue in the title, and is a larger conversation but suffice it to say that Ollama backend is not suitable for handling large amounts of users concurrently, unless you have a herd of them. There are ways, but none of them are very cheap. I know edu budgets can be razor-thin, so this might be a high hurdle to pass. However.. if you happen to have a lab full of Macs... you may not be out of luck.

@justinh-rahb
Hello, thank you for your reply. Where can I import csv files to add users in batches? I don't see a button to do this on the WebUI administrator Settings page.

@FruitTea2015 This is not a feature we have as of yet, I was only proposing an idea for how we might be able to implement such.

To be clear, I upvoted this issue for the "add users from admin panel" feature. I could use that as well.

is a larger conversation but suffice it to say that Ollama backend is not suitable for handling large amounts of users concurrently, unless you have a herd of them.

Would it be fine when using some 3rd party API?

Thanks @Yanyutin753 for responding. 😄 I have now just used a separate browser and clicked sign up a few times. Worked good enough for me.

There's at least one user in our Discord that has deployed their WebUI instance to 500 users, mostly using external APIs (Azure) and a local vLLM inference endpoint as well.

You are shipping 🚀 Thanks.

Thanks @tjbck also by the way for making this UI in the first place! I was just now using it and it's great. 😄 The UI is very solid on phone and desktop. It's not getting in the way at all.
