Import user data
You can import data to perform multiple operations on multiple users at one time. You can add, remove (delete) or update user information. The data must be in a text file of comma-separated values (CSV).
All changes made through the import process are applied immediately, and there is no automated way to undo them. However, if you are aware of the changes made, you can manually reverse or correct them through the Admin Console by making new updates (such as re-adding, removing, or modifying users).
-
Prepare the CSV file: The CSV file must follow the following format:
-
Action: The action to take (
add-user
,remove-user
,update
). -
Username: The user's email address or unique username.
-
First Name: The user's first name (only required for
add-user
andupdate
actions). -
Last Name: The user's last name (only required for
add-user
andupdate
actions).
Example CSV content:
update,username,firstName,lastName add-user,u1@email.com,u1first,u1last
remove-user,u2@email.com,,
remove-user,u3@email.com,,
add-user,u4@email.com,u4first,u4last add-user,u1@email.com,u1first changed,u1last changed -
-
In the Users page, click Import Users. The Import Users dialog opens.
-
Upload the CSV file. You can drag and drop the file into the upload area, or click Browse Files to open a file selection dialog. The name of the uploaded file appears inside the dialog.
-
If the CSV file contains a header row (as shown in the example content), select the Ignore first or header row in the CSV file checkbox.
-
Click Submit to import the data and perform the operations. The system adds, updates, or removes the users as specified in the file.
If the first line of the file cannot be processed, a warning message is displayed:
The first line is invalid. If this is a header row, please enable 'Ignore first or header row in the CSV file.'
Double-check the contents of the file, and be sure that you select the checkbox if applicable.
