User Migration fields available for bulk data import

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Introduction

In some projects, information about users may not be captured by the main inventory source used in ManagementStudio. For example, users within an unmanaged domain may not be identified by the connector. In such cases, project administrators can manually import user information into ManagementStudio using an Excel source. This article describes the available fields for user migration imports.

For more information on data import processes, refer to the Data Importer article.

Available User Migration Fields

The table below lists the fields that can be used when importing or updating user migration records in ManagementStudio.

Field NameDescriptionRequired?
MigrationIdA unique reference generated by ManagementStudio for each user migration. The usage of this field depends on the import scenario:

Creating a New User Migration: Leave this field blank when importing new users. ManagementStudio will automatically assign a Migration Id.

Updating an Existing User Migration: The Migration Id is required to map the data import to the correct user. To obtain Migration Ids:
1. Navigate to the User Migration module.
2. Select all required records using the Select All button on the toolbar.
3. Click the Copy dropdown and choose Export to Excel All.
