Hello,

we created groups in Identity Authentication Service IAS.
Now we need to add hundreds of users to these groups.
We found only the option to add users one by one to a group, which is not helpful.

We could import groups via CSV file upload.

But users to a group?

 

Many Thanks!

@ThomasHiesener 

you can go to User management - download the template and import it .. In each individual user in group column, you can have comma separated group names

or

you can go to each Groups - import the users

Dear All,

Maybe more details:
Our IAS users were provided by Entra.

I have a new group "XYZ".
I need to add this new group "XYZ" to 10 (in IAS already existing) users.
Every user has a different number of roles assigned already.

I tried the function "Import Users" with csv and yes this works somehow. 
But this means, the IAS realized that the user exists already but will overwrite all mandatory fields (status,mail,lastName,groups).
This means, that if the user has 10 roles assigned already, first those will be deleted, and afterward the ones from the file will be added.

Friendly! This is impossible, critical, and complicated.
I just need a simple thing, which is available in any system.
Bulk user assignment to roles or vice versa.

So, how to assign 10 existing users to one existing new role in bulk without overwriting?
OR
How to assign one existing new role to 10 existing users in bulk without overwriting?

Many Thanks!
Thomas
