  • 'true' will notify new users and any current user that does not have a password. The password reset link will expire in 24 hours.
  • 'false' will not send a notification, even if the user is new or does not have a password. This allows tenant admins to set up and manage users in a test tenant, and notify them for access later.

Updating Users and Roles using a CSV file

...

Tip
  • If you leave the roles column blank in the csv file you are using for updates, the existing roles for that user will be deleted. Be sure to add the roles relevant to the users you are updating so the existing roles are not cleared.The warning messages "Update of user failed"  or "Users Loaded successfully with some issues. See detailed results for details." is no longer displayed if users in the csv file you are uploading do not have any roles assigned to them. 
  • Customers who have automated csv uploads via the API (set up on versions earlier than v9.0) should be aware that passwords are no longer supported in csv upload and will be ignored.

CSV Upload Considerations

...

  • The CSV upload can handle up to 1,000 rows in a given upload action. If you need to upload a large number of users, we recommend breaking them up into multiple CSVs of 1,000 users or fewer.
    • Return to the Manage Users page and click  Upload Users again after each successful upload operation.
  • The "Reports To" column can only contain existing users. You should upload all of your users first, then re-upload the CSV(s) with the Reports To column filled.
  • If you have a large number of users, the Manage Users page users list may display a user count of -1. This is a known issue we plan to resolve in a future release.

...

If there are spaces in the role names in your csv file, the message "role [the name of the role that contains the space for example: V P] - format not permitted (must start with a letter or _, max 16 chars from the set: a-zA-Z0-9_- ). Remove the spaces then upload the file again.

Validate Hangs After Re-Upload CSV

When using Chrome, if you re-upload your CSV (for example, after you noticed errors on your first upload validation), you may notice that the validation does not complete.

Image Removed

This is a Chrome issue, and is resolved by refreshing the browser page, uploading the CSV and clicking Validate ). Remove the spaces then upload the file again.
