About the user accounts .csv file

You can import user accounts in a .csv file into BES10 Cloud from to create many user accounts at once. Depending on your requirements, you can also specify group membership and activation settings for the user accounts by including the following columns in the .csv file:

Column Header

Description

Group membership

Assign one or more user groups to each user account.

Use the semicolon (;) to separate multiple user groups.

If you do not include the “Group membership” column, when you import the file, you are given the option to select the group that you want all of the imported user accounts added to. If you want to assign each user account to a specific user group, you use this column before you import the file.

Activation password

Enter the activation password.

This value is mandatory if the “Activation password generation” value is set to “manual.”

Activation password expiration

Enter the number of seconds the activation password exists before it expires.

Activation password generation

Enter one of the following:
  • Auto. The activation password is automatically created and sent to the user.
  • Manual. The activation password is set in the "Activation password" column.
If the value is left blank, the default is Auto.

Send activation email

Enter one of the following:
  • True. The activation email is sent to the user.
  • False. The activation email is not sent to the user.
If the “Activation password generation” is set to “Auto,” the activation email is sent to the user regardless of the value in this column. If the “Activation password generation” value is "Manual" and this value is empty, then the default is True.

User type

This column is required whenever the .csv file includes both local and directory user accounts. Enter one of the following:
  • L for local user accounts
  • D for directory user accounts

Directory UID

(Optional) An alternative to entering the email address for directory user accounts. By default, the email address is used to validate the directory user accounts; however, you can specify that the directory UID be used instead. If the user account cannot be validated against the directory UID, an error is reported.
