How do I import multiple users?

TAO Portal offers a beta version of CSV Import, which allows admins to import large amounts of data (such as users) into the portal via CSV file.

1. Once beta features are enabled, in the Bulk import data window, select Download CSV templates.
2. In your downloads, open users.csv.
3. In the CSV file, populate each selection field with your information according to the entities defined in each column (in the top row of the template table).
4. Upload the file to TAO in the bulk import window. 

To update users via csv file:

1. To update a user, you need to enter the mandatory entity values (username and password). All other values can be updated. If you want to keep the existing password, you can provide the username only and remove the column for password.
2. If a value in a column is left blank, the corresponding value is removed (if it is not mandatory, otherwise it will trigger an error).
3. If a value in a column has a new value, it will replace the previous value.
4. If the column is removed, the existing value will be kept.
