File Import
The Import feature allows you to upload a tab-delimited file containing user
information to the Qube 3, saving you the time and effort of adding a large list of
users individually through the Add New User function.
The tab-delimited file must have the following information for each user; this
information replicates a number of the fields on the Add New User table:
• user name
• full name
• a plain-text password
• email alias(es) (optional)
The information in the tab-delimited file must be in the following format:
username[tab]fullname[tab]password[tab]email alias[newline]
To import users and groups onto the server:
1. Select Administration > Users and Groups > Import. The File Import
table opens. See Figure 51.

2. Enter the directory path and file name in the Source File field, or click
Browse to locate the tab-delimited file on your computer.
3. Click Import Now. Depending on the number of users to import, this
operation may take several minutes.
Once the import operation is complete, you can modify the individual users.
See “Modifying a user account” on page 109.
✍
Note: If a user has more than one email alias, separate the aliases
with a comma or a space.
