The create-user-directory command-line tool creates a directory for a user with a given username and assigns appropriate permissions for that user. The user must already exist in Blackboard Learn.

User folders cannot be created by cutting and pasting or copying folders in the operating system. You must use the command line tool or the user interface.

create-user-directory username

Example

create-user-directory jsmith


Create multiple user directories

This tool can also be used to batch create user directories. The users must be separated by a comma.
