Importing Reader Users From a CSV File

This lesson will show you how to import reader users from a CSV file. This can be helpful if you are migrating a lot of users from a different system.

Prepare File

Prepare your csv file so that the columns are in the format FirstName, LastName, Login, Password, Email, Group. The group and email fields are optional. You can prepare the file in a program such as Excel or Numbers or most database programs.

IMPORTANT: You must export the file as a CSV file. You cannot import a .xls file.
