Update users from a file

Make changes to user accounts based on the property values in an Excel or CSV file. Note: Only the first sheet of a workbook is recognized.

This feature allows you to make specific bulk changes to users properties using an CSV or Excel file.

How to update users from a file

Prepare your Excel or CSV file for import

Use filters in the Users module grid to only show the users and attributes (include Username or ID attribute for a matching g key) you wish you to modify, and export it.

Make your changes in the file and use it to update those users in sapio365.
sapio365 will try to automatically match header names to the grid columns, and prefill mapped data in the mapping dialog.

Hybrid tenants

The Import on-premises sub menu item is enabled only after loading on-prem users. For synced accounts, it’s your choice where you want to make changes since sapio365 does not recognize the direction of the sync.

Similar to the 'Import users' feature, 'Update users' lets you map the columns in your file to the columns in the sapio365 grid. The only difference is that you are asked which property to use as the criteria used to match file data to that of the grid (pink rectangles in images below): Username or Graph ID.

Step-by-step instructions

Choose to update in the cloud or on-prem.
Select an Excel or CSV file to use.
Review and set how the file should be read.
Choose a matching key by mapping Name (on-prem), ID or Username to a column in the file. The value must be unique.
Map the other attributes you want to update from the file by choosing a column in the file.
- Make sure that all other attributes are set to “-- Please select a column --“.
- Click OK.

Review changes flagged by pencil icon in one of the status columns on the left, and the changed values in green, and Save.
