If you would like to create users in bulk, please just send us a message, and we will do it for you. This service is included in your subscription fee.


We will need a .csv with the following:

  1. UniqueIDs

  2. Usernames

  3. Initial Passwords

  4. Permission tree id numbers

  5. Initial folder structure id numbers

  6. Accessibility id numbers


We will need a description file with the following text mappings:

  1. Permission tree id numbers to permissions.
    For example:
    Permission ID Number 1 = Needs access to ./greenglow/hyperdrive
    Permission ID Number 2 = Needs access to all subdirectories of ./greenglow

  2. Initial folder structure id numbers to folder structures
    For example:
    Folder Structure ID 1 = A user should have personal "raw" and "draft" folders
    Folder Structure ID 2 = A user should have a folder entitled "log"

  3. Accessibility permission id numbers to accessibility permissions
    For example:
    Accessibility ID Number 1 = Permitted to create new folders
    Accessibility ID Number 2 = Permitted to create folders and new folders


If you are feeling adventurous
... And you know how to code, and your boss has given you permission, give us a call and we will sit down and show you how to do bulk uploads on your own. Set aside a few hours for the talk.
