Adding a Network

Instead of adding partners manually, one at a time, an admin user can now add many users partners in bulk through bulk importImport Partner feature. To do this, a user needs to use a CSV (comma separated values) file that contains the users' data. This feature will not work if you have multi-mode authentication enabled. The user must follow given conventions to upload the .csv file and add them effectively in Adeptia Connect. 

The CSV file must have a following components as shown in the table below:

First NameLast NameUser IdEmail IdRole NamePasswordPartner's Name*JohnDoejohn_1john.doe@abc.comIT UserJ@hn1234AdeptiaJaneRoejane1jan.roe@abc.comBusiness UserJ@ne1234AdeptiaJeanSoejean_1jean.soe@abc.comSys AdminJ@an1234AdeptiaJamesPauljames1james.paul@abc.comView Only UserJ@mes1234Adeptia

Following are the allowed usage guidelines for the user list as shown above

First NameAllowed texts: Alphabet and AlphanumericLast NameAllowed texts: Alphabet and AlphanumericUser IdAlphanumeric, Underscore are allowed and must use only lowercase, e.g. jane1.Role NameMention the user type, e.g. IT User, Business User, and Sys Admin. Note that while uploading bulk users for Partners, you can not add system admin (Sys Admin) user type.PasswordPassword length should be a minimum of 8 characters with the combination of one uppercase, one lowercase, one numeric, and one symbol (e.g.:J@hn1234)Partner Name*Only names of existing partners can be inserted in csv file.* Partner Name will be applicable only while adding partner users. 

Assigning Custom Role to a user

You can assign multiple custom roles, standard roles, or combination of both to a user. However, you can assign multiple roles only when GAC is enabled.

For example, if for assigning multiple role to a user, you would write "IT User, ABC" in the Role Name column of the CSV file. Multiple roles should be separated by a comma and in double quotes. The user who is assigned with multiple roles will see all roles in the drop down list while logging in for the first time. There, the user will have to choose one of the assigned roles. 

Steps to add bulk users:

  • Click Account Users
