Chromebook password for students

[chekmate1984]

Hi all

 

I have a school where user account creation in Gsuite is in 2 OU, one staff and one student.

 

under student there is no groups just one long list!

 

We have groups for each classes.

 

Requirement, school have told me to have one password for each year groups. When i exported the student list, there is no mention of groups so cant change password there, in groups i can see classes but unable to reset password.

 

What alternatives do i have other than going one by one?

If you're planning on setting their passwords by performing a bulk user update via CSV, you could download the members list of a group (i.e. one of your classes) to CSV and use that as the basis for populating a bulk user update CSV. Should just be copy and paste of the usernames, with a bit of wrangling to split names into firstname and lastname.

 

Something else to consider would be to populate your students' 'Department' field in Google to hold their cohort info. That would then allow you to filter your list of student users (in Google Admin > Directory > Users > Student OU) by cohort. You'd be able to do that via the same bulk user update CSV as well.
