Prolog information
You can bulk import only the supported user attribute data for users. The Excel file must be the downloaded Excel template file or exported Excel file.
The following configuration options are available for import of users by using the Excel file:
  • Abort or continue the import process when the import user operation encounters first error in the user input file.
  • Import users with specific or all user attributes that Excel supports.
  • If a matching record already exists, you can:
    • Merge the user attribute data from the imported file to the existing data. For example, you can add a new handle to the existing user.
    • Delete the user records from the database that match the records in the input Excel file.
  • Schedule the bulk import job.
  • View the details of an import job:
