Importing users

You can import users to the organization's MeetingBooster installation from a variety of sources.

If you use Active Directory to manage your users, manual user editing will be disabled. For more information, see "Managing users using Active Directory".

Click Settings and select Admin.

Click User Import in the menu.

Importing users from a file

Preparing the import file

Using a spreadsheet application or similar, create a comma-delimited file (*.csv) or a Microsoft Excel file (*.xlsx) containing the users to be imported:

Create the mandatory columns DisplayName and Email.

(Optional) Create any or all of the following additional columns: FullName, Title, Manager and any user labels you have defined (see "Working with user labels").

If you add column labels other than the above, they will be removed on import. You cannot import user passwords.

You can also click Download Template on the User Import page to download a CSV file template containing all allowed columns.

CSV files can only contain international characters (letters a to z and numbers 0 to 9). If the list you want to import contains special characters, use an XLSX file.

Edit the file so that it contains all users to be imported.

Save the file.

Importing the file

Click Choose File, browse to the location of the import file, and open it.

Click Upload File. The file content is imported.

Deselect any users you do not wish to import, or click Cancel to cancel the import.

Click Import to import the users into MeetingBooster.

If one or more users in the import file already exist in MeetingBooster, they are greyed out, cannot be selected, and will not be imported.

Importing users from Active Directory/an LDAP server

If the users to be imported have been set up on a domain controller, you can import them from the domain.

Active Directory is only available when hosting MeetingBooster locally.

Enter the domain name, and click Connect.

Follow the steps described above for finishing the user import.

If you receive an error message, check the Active Directory/LDAP server setup, and try again.
