If it’s OK to have some adult create a bunch of users you could do something like - `gmailusername+fake-username1@gmail.com` - `gmailusername+fake-username2@gmail.com` - `gmailusername+fake-username3@gmail.com` to create a class full of kids “owned” by one teacher/adult/responsible person. Would this work for you (I just verified that I was able to add the `+whatever` to my gmail address on my own forum to create multiple users with a single gmail address). You need **some** way to verify that they are people and not spammers, right? How are you planning to do that? (Maybe knowing that will help come up with a way to solve the problem elegantly). --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multiple-users-with-a-single-email/48139)._
