How to update users from a file

How to prepare your Excel or CSV file for update

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

  • Make your changes in the file, save it and close it.

  • sapio365 will try to automatically match header names to the grid columns, and prefill mapped data in the mapping dialog.

Hybrid tenants

The ‘Update 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. sapio365 does not recognize the direction of the sync.

Similar to the 'Import users from file' feature, 'Update users from file' 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: Username or Graph ID (GUID).

  1. Choose to update in the cloud or on-prem.

  2. Select an Excel or CSV file to use.

Only the first sheet of a workbook will be used.
Columns may be auto-mapped to the grid if the file contains:
• the same column IDs or column titles used in the grid
• recommended column headings from the Microsoft 365 admin center's CSV template (for cloud-only accounts)

  1. INPUT: Review and set how the file should be read.

  2. Select the matching column and property: Choose a matching key by mapping Name (on-prem), ID or Username to a column in the file. The value must be unique.

  3. Select the columns for the the properties: 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 --“ (TIP: use the Reset button next to OK in the dialog box to reset all the columns to “-- Please select a column --“).

    • Click OK.
