Overview
As an administrator, you can add a group of users at one go using the CSV file. A CSV file enables you to provide details that are required for creating users in inSync. This method should be preferred over adding individual users to save time and efforts involved.
📝 Note
For shared mailbox, you can add users manually or import users from a CSV file.
Guidelines for creating the CSV file
💡 Tip
Download a sample CSV file from the Import Users window. See Procedure below for instructions.
If you are using the sample CSV file, open it in a spreadsheet application, replace the sample usernames and emails with your organization's usernames and emails, and then upload the modified file.
OR
If you want to create a CSV file using a text editor, follow these guidelines:
The first line in the CSV file should be Username, Email. The entry in the first line is not imported.
Use one of the following formats to define the username: John Doe, "John Doe", or "Doe, John". Do not use Doe, John (a comma separating the name, but without the double quotes) to define the username.
Make sure that the CSV file does not contain non-breaking spaces (Unicode U+00A0).
Use ASCII characters in the CSV file. If you must use non-ASCII characters, make sure you use UTF-8 encoding while saving the CSV file.
Before you begin
Before you add users by importing information from a CSV file, ensure the following:
You or an administrator created the profile that you want to assign to the user.
You created the storage where you want inSync to back up the user data.
A CSV file containing the display names of the users and their corresponding email addresses is created.
