Importing Users

In the user manager there is a link that allows you to import a tab delimited list of accounts.

Example File

Here is the basic tab delimited format:

firstname    lastname        email
Jamie    Taum  Jamie@trdx.com
Jaime    Knfez      jknez@lffwaneifnd.com
Richard R.    Faybbrini     rfaybbrini@langdeind.com
Tim    Swatnk       tswatnk@swanfek.com
Dale J.    Siwfdinski        dsigdski@nesthire.com

Built-in Fields

id - This is the account name you want to give the user. If id is not set then the account id will be auto assigned to be the email address.

firstname - The first name. This is optional. If not used the the name will be pulled from the last name field.

lastname - The last name. This is optional.

email - Will be used as the username if id is not used. The only problem with this is if the user changes they email address they will need a new account. We recommend you use the id field.

password- Will be used as the password for the user. If this calumn does not exist or no value is specified, OpenEdit will generate a random password. The user can then go to the login screen and use the password recovery tool to get their password emailed to them.

property.somename - The import allows you to specify any custom fields you want in the user. For example: property.zipcode will add a zipcode property to the user account.
