How do I send email inside the LMS to all users, groups of users, or individual users?

User Management>Communicating with Users & Collecting Feedback

The LMS allows emails to be sent to all users, groups of users, or individual users—it depends on your user role. Group administrators can send email to only users within their assigned group while administrators can send email to all users in the system. 

To email all users

1. From the Administrative side of the LMS navigate to the "Users" tab in the main navigation header.
2. Then, select the "Manage Users" tab from the side navigation menu.
3. Leave all information in the "Manager Users" box blank and select the "Search" button. This will redirect you to a search results page where all users will be displayed.
4. To send an email to all users, select the check box located in the table header of the user results. Then, select the button "Email Selected User(s)." See image below.
5. You will be redirected to a new page where you'll be able to write an email to all of your users. You can see all of your email recipients to the left of the message. Once you've finished writing your message you can select the button "Send Email." 

To email groups of users

1. From the Administrative side of the LMS navigate to the "Users" tab in the main navigation header.
