Upload users

The Upload users page is used for uploading users to a company, rather than creating them through the browser. It can be accessed through the IOMAD dashboard:

1. Go to the IOMAD dashboard.
2. Choose the company whose user(s) you'd like to edit from the Select a company dropdown (or use the company selector at the top right of the page).
3. Click on the Users tab.
4. Select Upload users.

Settings

The page allows you to provide the file's:

• Separator or delimiter - with the option of a comma, semicolon, colon, or tab.
• Encoding type.

It also has settings related to the upload process itself, allowing the user to define:

• The number of Preview rows - number of rows that will be previewed during the upload process.
• The Upload type - Whether duplicate users should be discarded, added, or updated.

CSV Structure

The Upload users page allows users to be uploaded to a company in bulk. This is done with CSV files, structured into columns.

If the Upload type is set to Update existing users only, then only the username column is required.

If any other Upload type is set, then only the firstname and lastname columns must be filled.
