Importing External Users

Overview

Within System Administration, imports for admins, faculty, and students are completed using the People import. However, external users are only used within Student Learning & Licensure (SLL), so their import must be performed separately using the Classic Admin area.

Note: Administrators can only import external users using this process. Import all other roles (admins, faculty, and students) through the People import process in System Administration to prevent import errors.

Importing External Users

Follow these steps to import external users into SLL:

  1. Select Student Learning & Licensure from the sign-in menu or from the nine-dot menu on the System Administration page.
  2. Click the nine-dot menu in the top-right corner and select "Admin".
  3. Click the Imports tab in the top-left section.
  4. Select User Sample File within the User import option to open the file download page.

  2. Select Upload File and select the updated CSV file containing the external user details.
  3. Select Confirm to complete the file import.

Conclusion

Once the import process is complete, the new external users will be available in SLL and ready for assignment to courses and placements.
