ImportUsers CLI reference

The ImportUsers tool provides a command-line interface (CLI) that creates and deletes Connected end users based on data in a CSV (comma separated values) file. It also supports group, status, and profile updates for any type of user. For example, you can use it to create groups, place users on hold, or reactivate users who are currently on hold or within their deletion grace period.

Before you begin

If your environment supports multiple customers, close all browsers that have the Connected web application open before running the tool. This ensures that instead of using credentials cached by the browser, the tool uses the ones you provide or, if using the -preservelogin option, the ones from the .properties file. To prevent inadvertently managing the wrong customer due to cached or incorrect credentials, the tool prompts you to confirm the customer before it processes data. For more information about bypassing this default prompt, see ‑assumeyes.

The following sections provide information about how to use the ImportUsers tool's CLI.
