Trying to do a Bulk User update
I'm trying to use the Import Users function in the User List to perform a batch update to existing users. I want to change the email and main organization of an existing user, but I received an error stating "Invalid input at Line 1. You cannot use the same name with other users."
How can I use this function to perform batch updates? The info in the Manual isn't clear about how to do this. How does the system know which user you want to update if you're using a new name and/or email.
Adding new users with the CSV import works fine, the only problem is with updating users.
-
Email addresses can't be changed by bulk user update with [Import Users]. An email address is being used as a key to collate the user registered with it.
You can update Name, Password and Organization in batch.
If you'd like to change email addresses, please change user profiles one by one. -
FYI; The System Settings REST API allows you to change user information. Therefore, it is possible to change the email addresses of many users at once by writing shell scripts.
However, if misconfigured, the System Settings REST API can have a major impact on your workflow platform, so be sure to fully understand specification of the API before using it and be careful what you configure.
