Or use the text based input tool. See <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/5a/7adf3dffadd95ee10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a> for the format of the file...

is the format is wrong

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

YEs, the format would be:

[Group]

gid=Sal

user=p98349393;p98982345;

Note that [Group] is a fixed value...

Warning: Invalid attribute line format. Unknown attribute gid at line 2 of the import data.

Warning: Invalid attribute line format. Unknown attribute user at line 3 of the import data.

Error: Cannot create a user without a user ID

This is the message i am getting

You don't want the extra ; at the end of the user list.

What version of EP are you on?

You can always export a group to check on the syntax.

under the import export tab

ihave

User Data Import and

User Data Export

does this mean i cant load a group

iam on Ep6.0 sp2.

Under User Data Export i only see

<All users>

Guest users

Thanx

You can import users,group or roles, but you do it from the menu path you found which, confusingly, is under Users!

When you export, by default you can only export from companies. If you go to the Groups menu you can export groups from there.

Please follow

heres what it is

I need to test 500 personel numbers in the portal.All i want to do is give each of these pernrs a role so that they can go to the entrprise portal and log in.

Manually it will take a long time for me ,so is it possible that i create a group and add a role to it and then add the pernrs from the text file as in import.

Thanks

Do you want personnel numbers from SAP HR, or users from SAP? Is this for testing ESS functions?

You can create portal users with the text file and assign them to a group. But to get access to SAP, you will need to make SAP user names.

yes i have to test ESS functions,

pernr 98761234 has userid:p98761234

with the user id he can log on and perform actions depending on the role given to him.

so how can i do that for 500 pernrs who have 500 userids already existing, but i want to assign them to one group and assign a role to it.

can u tell me in detail

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

When you say userid:98761234 exists, is this an SAP userid or a portal userid. If you make your UME point to the ABAP system, then your problems are solved - the users will all exist and any PFCG roles in SAP will become groups in UME.

okay

i have user 34567891

and in 105 infotype have his username for ESS p34567891.

I want to let this person access the portal and want to give him a role. like in create user and then give him a password and then a role.

How can i do this for 500 personnel.

I have to go in and create a user for each of this personnel and assign a password and a role manually.

any better way to do it

thanks for being patient

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

You can create a user through the text file as well:

[User]

UID=p34567891

Password=secret

Email_Address=p34567891@mycompany.com

First_Name=p34567891

Last_Name=test

Then create the groups in the text file (as earlier) and then manually assign the group to the role.

i was able to create one atlast.thank you

but do i have to manually type in in the text file for all the users.is there an easy way to do for 500 users.

what if i can extract a report of all these fields and put it in a text file any possible way,

thanks so much

A pseudo ABAP report:

report zextract.

tables: usr03.

select * from usr03.

write: / '[User]'.

write: / 'UID=', usr03-bname.

write: / 'Password=secret'.

write: / 'Email_Address=p34567891@mycompany.com'.

write: / 'First_Name=', usr03-name1.

write: / 'Last_Name=user'.

write: / ''.

endselect.

Hi,

Could you please outline the steps clearly, i go to user data import and then ....

you were a great help will reward points accordingly

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Enter the file name or paste the contents from a text file...

I think you said you were able to do a user import earlier - it's the same process..

Cheers

Hi Lerner,

The easiest way is to write a Portal Component which would do all this programatically.

Check the API's that will help:

https://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/current/um/index.html

Check these classes to know how to create Users and assign them to Group programatically. And assign a Group to a Role:

IGroup

IGroupFactory

IRole

IRoleFactory

IUser

IUserFactory
