In this demonstration, we're going to learn how to import users into Office 365.
So in this particular case, we have a whole handful of users that we want to bring in.
And in order to bring them in week, if actually created a comma separated file or CSP file, the CSB
file has all the attributes that is needed for importing a user.
So what are you going to do is I'm going to click here on adding multiple users.
And of course, this will tell you a little bit about how to get it done.
But I want to show you what a CSP file with headers and sample user information is, how you could do
just the headers and fill them in.
But I want to show you the sample information.
So as soon as I click on that, it gets imported.
I'm just going to excel here, expand the columns, and all I want to point out is we have the user
name, which is also their e-mail address, first name, last name, display, name, job title department.
These are all fields and headers that Office 365 actually acknowledges and knows.
If I was to spell user name differently, maybe without the space of between the two, the import actually
wouldn't work.
So these headers have to be exactly as they appear here.
So if you're creating this for the first time, I would download one with headers only.
I would fill in the sheet here at Excel, save it as a C S.V., and then I would go ahead and use that
to import your users.
I've already done that.
So what I'm going to do is close out of this.
I don't need to save it.
I'm going to go ahead and browse.
I'm going to go to import users.
I won't now notice the name is right here.
Let's verify that the file is corrected in the right format so the file looks good.
Click or tap next.
I'll go ahead and hit next.
Now I get to go ahead and apply users or apply licenses.
So if you look here, sign is allowed by default.
Well, let's say I'm hiring all of these users, but they're not starting for another week.
I wouldn't want them to be able to sign in until the first day of employment.
So in that particular scenario, I would say sign and blocked.
I do get to set their locations and notice here the location is going to be set to the United States
by default.
And if I move down through here, I also get to assign some of the users.
I'm going to give them all a.
E3 license.
Now, again, I have plenty of licenses in there.
Just in the nature of what I do and how the licenses are procured for me.
But in your case, you might want to go ahead and either reach out to your reseller or make sure that
you know in advance that you're going to have to purchase these licenses.
I'm going to go ahead and hit next.
Notice it's adding the users, five users are created.
I can download the results, so I'll go ahead and take a look at it.
I can e-mail the results to people.
So I'm in there.
I'm going to hit send close.
And when I open up my download.
You're going to see that I've added five users here, their e-mail addresses and heresy of signed passwords,
because it's going to do that random password for you.
Well, you're all done with the file.
You can just close it.
You don't need to save it.
I'm going to minimize it.
Go pick through.
I guess I'm not going to have to keep those users forever, so I'm going to keep that list.
But that's all there is to it.
They were downloaded.
They were assigned a license.
They were all given a password that you can give out from that spreadsheet.
And we're good to go.
