- Are your passwords encrypted? —
- Select Yes if the passwords in your CSV file are already encrypted. Crowd will not re-encrypt the passwords during the import.
- Select No if the passwords in your CSV file are not encrypted. Crowd will encrypt the passwords during the import, using the encryption method of the Crowd directory you are importing into.
- User state after import — Select the default state for users imported with the CSV file.
- Delimiter — Type the single-character delimiter used to separate the fields in your CSV file(s).
- User File — Type the location of the CSV file containing the users you wish to import. If you're using Crowd 4.2.4, 4.3.5, or newer, the file path must be relative to the 'import' subdirectory of the shared Crowd home.
- Group Membership File — If you want to import groups and group memberships of your users, type the location of the CSV file containing the group membership information. If you're using Crowd 4.2.4, 4.3.5, or newer, the file path must be relative to the 'import' subdirectory of the shared Crowd home.
