Importing users in deployed mode

Question

Hello Everyone,

Could anyone please advise on how we can import the users in deployed mode?
 
Is it possible to import the selective access fields as well?
 
Thanks in advance..!!

Note: If a tenant administrator turns on the user management switch in Administration:

* Only user administrators can add or remove users from the Internal page in Administration. They can also invite or remove visiting users from the Visiting page in Administration. 
* Workspace administrators can't add or remove users from within models. They also can't add users through an import. However, they can run an import to update user attributes.

1. Create Users Import

The first step is to create the Users import in your DEV model. Note that in order to import Selective Access to multiple items in a hierarchy, you will need to repeat the same row for each list item that you want to provide access to. I have attached a sample file (see right hand side), and here is a screenshot:

You can find more about importing users in our Anapedia article, Import a List of Users.

2. Sync the changes to PROD

After you have created the Users import, sync your changes to the PROD model.

3. Overwrite the Users.csv file from Import Data Sources

In the PROD model, you can access the Import Data Sources screen from within Actions settings. Once here, select New Source > Upload New File... and then provide the full Users.csv file. Note that you will not see a confirmation message at this point; however, this will overwrite the Users.csv file stored within the model.

4. Run the import in PROD

Once the file has been uploaded, you can run the Users import from the Imports tab within Actions settings.
