Importing User Information from a CSV File
You can import up to 3,000 users using a CSV file.
To edit and import a CSV file :
- Go to Administration > User Management.
- Click Sample Import CSV file to download the user information template.
- Enter your user information in the CSV file template in the following format so that the Zscaler service successfully imports the CSV file:
- The file name must have a .csv extension.
- The first line of the file is the header row.
- Enter one of the following for Action:
- + (plus sign) to add or modify a new user. When adding a user, Email-ID, User Name, Dept, and Group must be filled in. A user can belong to up to 128 groups.
- - (minus sign) to delete a user. When deleting a user, only Email-ID is required.
- The password can be left blank if you don’t want to upload passwords in clear text. You can use One-Time Passwords to enable users to log in and set passwords.
- Each user must be on a separate line.
- Each user's email address must have a domain name that was defined in the portal. If the authentication method is a one-time token or one-time link, then either this field or the Temp auth email field must contain a valid email address.
- The temporary email address can specify any domain. This is used if the authentication method is a one-time token or one-time link. It can have any domain name, but it must be a valid email address.
- Once you have the CSV file in the correct format, click Import.
The Import Users window appears.
- In the Import Users window:
- Select Override Existing Entries, if you want to update your existing user information (e.g., group, password, and department).
- Do not select Override Existing Entries, if you only want to add new users. Review your CSV file and ensure that there is no duplication. If you attempt to add a new user that already exists without selecting this option, the Zscaler service displays an error message.
- Click Choose file, navigate to the CSV file, and then click Open.
- Click Import.
- After the CSV file is successfully imported, click Close.
