Import users through a button published in the dashboard

Hi Team,

It would be great if we can Import a list of users and updating their attributes through a button published in the dashboard.

Thanks

@SathyaM - maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do, but if you are talking about updating the user list from a file or from data stored in a module by pressing a button, you can do that. The action can only be run by a user with administrator rights though (I've put in a request here to expand that).

There is a training course that talks about managing user access settings (roles and selective access) in a module and using import actions to update the user list. It's a good overview - I utilized a similar method for managing access across all of our models. This is the course, I believe: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Academy-Classes/Automating-User-Access/ta-p/27288

If you want to import from a file, that is a little tricky but there is a specific set of steps you can follow to make it work. I'd recommend instead though that you load the data into a module first and then into the users list using the above method as you can avoid the workaround issue.

Allow non-WSAs to view source module name in UX.
When a user clicks the ellipsis in a grid card they should be able to see the name of the source module. This empowers end users with the ability to connect to the source data they see in the UX to the module in the backend. It also enables end users to pull the data into Google Sheets or Excel.
