Importing Users

Permalink
I have a client who has over 600 users (it's a school district.) I need a way to import them into the system. Are there any tools within Concrete5 (5.7) to do this? If not, can it be done directly in the database? If so, what tables, fields are required?

That sounds like something for a job:

The way to import the data also depends on how these are delivered.

The tables and fields depend on the original data.
For missing fields, you could create user attributes.

good luck !

I am also very curious about this. But I'll admit that the link provided in the comment above went over my head, as I'm not a coder/developer.

I'm trying to find the answer to the problem of how to import 600+ user accounts into 5.7, from 5.6. I've exported the CSV from the user table in the 5.6 site, but there's no option for importing in 5.7...

Those of you who know, can you tell me if this add-on would work?

I don't have an answer for your initial question.

Regarding your second question about the Database Migration add-on. This will not assist you in importing user accounts into 5.7 from 5.6. The Database Migration add-on deals with case sensitivity conversion.
