242 Module 132: User Management | Managing Users
Importing Users from a CSV File
It's not unusual to have hundreds of users that need to be loaded into the system. Entering the data manually
can be tedious and time consuming, and data entry is often prone to human error.
Many organizations already have some form of data source - such as an HR system or a student enrolment
database - containing user information. Most of these systems enable you to easily export this data as a CSV
file or even an Excel spreadsheet.
The Import Users wizard enables you to transfer that user data into Protege GX, mapping the user information
to the corresponding fields in Protege GX.
1. Navigate to Sites | Import Users to launch the Import Users wizard
2. Browse to and select the
CSV File you wish to import
the users from, then click
Next
For our Acme training
system, use the CSV file
provided on your USB
training card.
3. Select the line to start
importing data from. If your
CSV file contains a header
row, start the import at line
2 so the header row is not
imported
4. Select the text delimiter to
use, then click Next
5. Select a column in the
panel on the left then click
the associated field on the
right that the data should
be mapped to.
6. Repeat for the remaining
columns, selecting Skip
where you want to ignore a
column. This allows you to
import from a CSV
containing additional data
without having to edit the
file first. The data in the top
panel is updated as you
make your selections
enabling you to preview
how fields will be imported.
