that manifest for the imported organization.
The following procedure assumes you have already created a suitable manifest in the Red Hat
Customer Portal.

3.7.2. Import ing Users
The import process recreates the Satellite 5 users in each Satellite 5 organization from the
users. csv file. User passwords cannot be copied from Satellite 5 to Satellite 6; instead, the process
generates a new random password for each user that it imports. This information is saved in a CSV
file, which as the administrator you can parse and send notifications to each user listed with their
new password. You can use the hammer i mpo rt command on the command line or use the hammer
interactive shell.
The import process tracks which entities have already been processed. You can, for example, run the
hammer i mpo rt user command multiple times, using different input files (CSV files). The i mpo rt
command recognizes user IDs it has already imported, and skips them on subsequent processes.
Run the following command to import users into Satellite 6:
# hammer import user --csv-file /tmp/exports/users.csv \
--new-passwords /path/to/new/user/passwords.csv
The following is an example of an interactive session:
