Importing users and user groups

This topic describes how to import users and groups.

Before you begin

Note: There are restrictions when importing users and user groups that may exist depending on what feature level your database is created with. You can change values in the file that contains user and group information prior to import to resolve problems. For more details, see the comments at the top of the file or contact customer support for assistance.
If you import a profile with users or user groups that are subscribed to a specific database, and the schema into which the profile is being imported does not include that specific database, the import operation fails. To avoid this problem, verify that all users and groups have set the All existing and future databases subscription option.

Procedure

  1. Start the Designer. Then click File > User Administration.
  2. In the User Administration window, click Utilities and select Import.
  3. Select the file that contains the user and group information that you want to import and click Open.
