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.
