To import bulk users:
- Note - only import non-domain/federated accounts
- Prepare a Comma Separated Variables (CSV) text file using the construct firstname,lastname,email without any heading row, spaces between the values, and with one user record
per line.- Encapsulate these values within double quotes to avoid issues processing special characters in the names e.g. "firstname","lastname","email"
- Under Users, click on Import users
- Click on Select file or drag and drop the CSV file created
- If the file was successfully selected, it will be reflected in the Upload users dialog
- Click Import
- If the import is successful, there will be a popup that users will be added in the background
- Click the Close button
- To see the current status of the user imports, click on the kebob 3-dot menu next to the Import users option
and select Import history - Review any errors and Retry where necessary
- Back to Users, sort by Date added to review imported users
