# Manually enrol users

This [enrolment method](/totara-20/docs/what-are-enrolment-methods) allows you to enrol users on courses manually. As an Editing Trainer on a course you can manage individual or collective enrolment.

To manually enrol a user follow these steps:

1. Go to the course to which you would like to add users.
2. Go to *Course administration > Users > Enrolled users*.
3. Select the **Enrol users** button at the top right or bottom left of the page.
4. From the **Assign roles** dropdown choose the appropriate role.
5. Configure the [settings](/totara-20/docs/enrolment-method-settings) as required.
6. Browse or search for the user you want to enrol.
7. Select the **Enrol** button next to the user. The user will indent in the list and the enrol button will disappear, indicating that the user is enrolled.
8. When you have finished, click **Finish enrolling users**.

The user will then appear in the list of enrolled users and will no longer be available in the search list.
