Step-by-step guide
Prepare the csv file for the users you would like to import (ensure all required information exists in the file)
- In the VERA Web Portal User Management section, click the Import Users button
- Click the Choose File button and then browse to the prepared csv file.
- Click the Import button.
- If a username does not already exist in VERA, the user and associated attributes will be imported into the database
- If a username already exists in VERA, the user's attributes will be updated with the new information (i.e. the full name "Steve Jobs" could be updated to "Steven Jobs")
Image Modified
- Upon successful import, the csv file will be moved to an archive folder so it can be retrieved later (if needed)
- A results file will appear with a summary of the users that were imported, the users that were updated and any errors
- If an error occurs due to missing information
- No users will be imported or updated
- The csv file will not be archived
- A results file will appear with a summary of the error(s)
- The file can then be modified to correct the missing information and can be imported again

Once the users are imported, their assigned groups can be updated within the VERA Administration portal (see Adding/Removing Users from VERA Roles). For updates to an existing user's attributes such as a name change, email address, etc, a new csv file should be used to correct the information. |
