CSV User Import

[will.good]

Hi,

When creating new users via CSV import, is there a way to populate the custom fields and home organisation via CSV also?

Our User import tool does such: https://github.com/hornbill/user-import-database & documentation: https://docs.hornbill.com/data-imports-guide/users/database/overview

To be fair, the CSV import works via an ODBC connection. There is a to-do item on the dev list to remove that extra step, but, as the ODBC-route currently works, the priority of this to-do item is low. Either way, any changes there would only affect the source configuration and probably not the mapping.

Sorry not sure if I am missing something but I can't see anything on the docs that mentions using a csv file? I just see Database, Entry ID, Google Workspace or LDAP?

Hi @will.good,

CSV falls under Database in this instance. The connection goes via ODBC.

As stated, native CSV is on the "ToDo"-list to add, but not anytime in the near future.
