Can I update users through an import?

[SMackowiak]

Hi -- I have a bunch of users in my system that we would now like to go back and add some additional fields to like employee number, and deparment number... Can I use the import function to just pull in a spreadhseet with all of their info and have it update?  When I try to do it, it tells me there were too many errors and it was aborted.  I went here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Connect/6.0/Enterprise/help.html?content=WS11d1def534ea1be08a52b610b38bf... to see how to set-up my spreadsheet...

I am saving as a csv, and my column headers are:

first-name, last-name, login, email, password, employee-id, department-number

Currently, all of these pieces are in the system except for Employee ID and department number.  Any idea what could be happening?

Thank you!

The employee id and department number will be seen by Connect as an x-123456789 value. You can identify that value by mousing over the field in the profile editor or by clicking on the link and finding it in the URL path in your browser. Use that x- value as your header in the CSV.

Also, the current documentation explains this better, you are using version 6 documentation, and the current version is 9: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/9.0/using/WS5C856274-D671-4665-9CD0-29868C8960F2.html

Hi, Can I import users (csv file) programatically. I know there is a http call to create user , groups but its one user at a time. I want to perform bulk import using csv file.

Thanks
