User import (Not available in VIMP Light)
The user import plugin imports user records from a CSV file.
The import process can be started in the Users section of the VIMP backend by clicking the “User Import” button.
You can upload a CSV file that contains your user data row-by-row. The user fields must be separated with the separator you defined in the User import configuration.
The minimum fields that have to be included into the CSV file are:
- username
- password
Further fields are optional and depend on the custom user fields that you want to be filled.
Here’s an example of a CSV import file:
username;password;email;firstname;lastname;birthday;role;city
user1;Test1!;user1@user.com;firstname1;lastname1;1990-01-01;user,moderator;Munich
user2;Test2!;user2@user.com;;lastname2;1988-06-01;;Toronto
user3;Test3!;user3@user.com;firstname3;;1997-05-05;administrator,moderator;London
Here is an extended example with the assignment of groups, clients, channels and channel roles:
username;password;email;firstname;lastname;groups;client;channels;channel_role;
csv1;csv1;csv1@1.com;csv1name;csv1lastname;"1,2,3,4";1;"1,3,6";"1-2,6-1,8-0";
csv2;csv2;csv2@2.com;csv2name;csv2lastname;1;1;1;
csv3;csv3;csv3@3.com;csv3name;csv3lastname;3;1;1;
The role assignment here is as follows based on the above example.
"1-2,6-1,8-0":
- for the channel with ID 1, the user gets the channel permission Channel Administrator (2)
- for the channel with ID 6, the user gets the channel permission Channel Moderator (1)
- for the channel with ID 8 the user gets the channel permission Channel-User (0)
