Roster/Upload Ninjas
Instructions
Login to: codeninjas.robokind.com
Step 1: Login
Go to codeninjas.robokind.com and using the Username and Password provided to you by RoboKind, login.
Step 2: Create a Single User (Sensei or Ninja)
From your home screen go to the Dashboard and select the Users tab. Finally click Create user.
Use the form on the next page to input details about the user.
Since the software requires an email yet Ninjas are not expected to have a valid e-mail. You will need to create an email scheme that you can use to create dummy emails for each Ninja that are unique.
It is highly recommended that the domain of the dummy email is the same for all students in your franchise.
You can use your Sensei’s work email address to send them a randomly generated password, just make sure the “Force password change” box is checked and the “send temporary password by email” drop down menu is set to “yes”
For Ninja user creation you’ll need to create their username and password and provide the log in credentials to the ninja. the usernames can be the fake email you set up for them, and the password can be something simple like “Welcome1!” (must have upper and lower case, a number and a symbol). Again make sure “force password change” box is checked but “send temporary password by email” is no.
Use the Advanced and Assign Licenses drop downs to configure the user as a Sensei or Ninja with the settings below:
Sensei Config
Advanced:
Role: User
Educator: Yes
Course Access: Ungraded
Assign Licenses:
Select a License: Sensei License
When you select Sensei License another box will appear below it selecting the available courses. Sensei’s have access to the Expedition: Space Station and Professional Development training courses to get them more familiar with how to run the program.
Ninja Config
Make the following selections as shown below:
Role: User
Educator: No
Course Access:
Select a License: Ninja License
Course: Space Station Challenge
Be cautious when assigning a Ninja License as the assignment cannot be undone and will subtract from your paid total. Please contact RoboKind Support to unassign a Ninja License.
Click the Submit button to create the user.
Step 3: Create Roster Spreadsheet
To quickly create a number of users you can use the bulk importer.
It is recommended that Ninjas and Senseis are bulk rostered separately as licenses can be assigned to the entire roster sheet simultaneously.
Download the Roster Template and following the instructions below create your student roster sheet.
CSV Roster Template
File formats for upload users file
The upload users file has fields separated by a comma (or other delimiter) ONLY - no space. The first line contains the valid field names. The rest of the lines (records) contain information about each user.
Tip: Avoid special characters in field information like quotes or other commas. Test a file with only one record before a large upload.
Tip: You can use a spread sheet program to create the file with the required columns and fields. Then save the file as "CSV (comma delimited)". These files can be opened with simple text editors (eg, Notepad++) for verification.
Required fields
These are the required user identification fields:
username,firstname,lastname,email
Validity checks are performed for:
username can only contain alphabetical lowercase letters , numbers, hypen '-', underscore '_', period '.', or at-sign '@'
email is in the form: name@example.com
Passwords
The "password" field is optional if the 'New user password' setting on the upload screen is set to "Create password if needed and send via email" but is required if the setting is "Field required in file".
If included, values should meet the requirements for the site's Password policy.
To force password change for a particular user, set the password field to changeme. If omitted, a password will be generated for each user (during the next Cron job) and welcome e-mails sent out. The text for the welcome e-mail is in the language settings in Site administration > Language > Language customisation with a String identifier of 'newusernewpasswordtext'.

Step 3: Roster/Upload Senseis and Ninjas
