Importing Users into Applications

You can perform a full sync import of the users of third-party Cloud applications using a flat file. In a full sync import, the imported user in the CSV file replaces any existing user who is already assigned to the application.

  1. Create a CSV file for import in the following format or download the CSV file along with user data from the target system apps: 
    ID, NAME, ACTIVE
hercule.poirot@sampleapp.com,hercule.poirot@sampleapp.com,true

    This table provides a description of the attributes in the CSV format file:

    Attribute Name

    Description

    Sample Value

    ID

    The unique identifier of the account in the target.

    hercule.poirot@sampleapp.com

    NAME

    The name of the account.

    NAME is the primary input that is matched with the username of a particular user in IAM>.

    hercule.poirot@sampleapp.com

    ACTIVE

    The status of the account on the target. The possible values are true and false.

    If the value is true, the user account is imported and activated. If the value is false, the user is imported in a deactivated state.

    true
  2. On the Domains list page, select the domain in which you want to make changes. If you need help finding the list page for the domain, see Listing Identity Domains.
  3. On the details page, select Integrated applications. A list of applications in the domain is displayed.
  4. Select the application to change.
  5. Depending on the options you see, do one of the following:
    • select the Import tab, then under the Actions menu Actions Menu, select Import, or
    • on the application detail page, select Import.
  6. Browse for the CSV file, and import it.
    Note

    Import from CSV file is enabled for applications that support flat file synchronization.
  7. Refresh the page to view the import result. If the import succeeds, then the users present in the CSV file displays.
  8. Select Users to view the imported users.
    Note

    Refresh the Users tab to view the imported users.
  9. Observe that the users with a true value for ACTIVE attribute are activated. However, if a user account has false value for ACTIVE attribute, the user account is imported in a deactivated state.
    Note

    The Users tab displays only the matched and confirmed users.
  10. Synchronize the imported users. See Synchronizing Imported User Accounts to synchronize the imported user accounts with the users in an identity domain.
