Import User Group Data

Administrators add or remove users from user groups in bulk via the User Group Data Loader. You must first populate in a comma—or semicolon—separated values (CSV) file the three mandatory fields required for adding or removing users (that is, Action, GroupName, UserID).

To import user group data via the User Group Data Loader

1. Go to Manage Center > Users > User Group Data Loader. The User Group Data Loader page opens and lists your previous user group importsprevious user group imports, if any.

   To see previous imports from any user, select Anyone from the Uploaded By drop-down list.

2. If required, download the CSV file template and enter the user group information in the Action, GroupName and UserID fields. 
3. Click + Import CSV file.
4. Click Choose File to select the CSV file to upload.
5. If your CSV file was saved with a specific file encoding the LMS can automatically detect it, otherwise you can select it from the list.
6. Select the delimiter used to separate fields in your CSV file. This can be a comma or a semicolon.
7. Click Preview. The contents of the CSV file are shown in the Data Loader page so that you can review the data before importing the file.
8. Click Upload to import the CSV file. The Summary Report shows how many records in the file were imported successfully and how many failed.
9. If any records failed to import, you can go back to the User Group Data Loader page and click the CSV Error Report link for the failed import. The error report downloads to your desktop as a copy of the imported file that includes the error message.
