Article summary

You can add or update one or more user accounts from a CSV (spreadsheet). When new user accounts are created the users will not receive a welcome email to set their credentials. You must provide this information to your users.

IMPORTANT: Always specify the user_id if you wish to update user accounts, otherwise a user creation will be attempted. For the email change use case, if user id is not specified it will create a new user account for the provided email value.

Tip: Use the Export users feature and then update the needed values of current user accounts. If needed, add new users, with user_id empty, at the bottom of the file.

    When creating a user, an email address must be typed in. Important: if user_id is empty, you will create a user for this email. Do not leave the user_id empty if you want to actually change the email for this user, fill in their user_id by using export users feature. When updating a user, you can specify a new email address [local part/domain part], the same address or leave the column empty.

    When creating a user, you can specify the user's first name or leave the field empty. When empty, the default value firstname will be set. When updating a user, you can specify a new first name or it can be an empty field. (User_id needs to be filled in for the update of the user).

    last_name

    When creating a user, you can specify the user's last name or leave the field empty. When empty, the default value lastname will be set.When updating a user, you can specify a new last name or it can be an empty field. (User_id needs to be filled in for the update of the user).

    country

    When creating a user, you must specify a country code. When updating the user, you can specify a new country code or leave the field empty (User_id needs to be filled in for the update of the user).

    When creating a user, you can define a first time password that has to be compliant with the required rules. On the first sign in the user will need to set a new password. For updating a user account, password input is ignored.

    • If you update users, all empty fields will not change the existing values of the user.
