You must be logged in as the Pinnacle Administrator user to import users into the Pinnacle database.
Users can either be added or updated, depending on the data in the import file. If you want to add a new user, the user ID supplied in the import file must NOT already exist in the Pinnacle database. If you want to update an existing user, the user ID supplied in the import file MUST already exist in the Pinnacle database. Updates and additions can be mixed within the one import file if necessary.
All the Required fields must be supplied when you are adding a new user. If you are updating an existing user, you do not need to supply the Required fields (other than the User ID). Any fields left blank in the import file when updating an existing user will be left unchanged in Pinnacle. The user ID cannot be updated for an existing user.
The data file to import Users must consist of six (6) comma separated columns. The columns must be in the following order:
Column |

If the user ID exists, the user will be updated. If the user ID does not exist, the user will be added. |
