User Guide 

1. Insert the User Management Macro into your page

2. Save the page. You will see the Bulk User Upload Management Utility. The Display tabs are for actions that do not modify data.  If you want to upload users you can clear existing text and paste your CSV user list into the area. You can also delete the text with the Clear Area button. The proper format for uploading users is either pipe (|) or comma (,) delimited:

           username| password| email| full name| group1 (optional)| group2 (optional)| ...

           or

           username, password, email, full name, group1 (optional), group2 (optional), ...

3. The Sample Input tab renders a sample of test users to upload.

4. After inputting data into the text area you can use the buttons in the Updates button group. The image below demonstrates the results of pressing the Add/Update Users - Simple Format button using the test input from the Sample Input tab. You will see a result message after clicking a button.

User-specified Passwords

When adding users you can check the "Generate Password" checkbox to allow new users to set their own passwords.  They will be notified via Confluence's email notification framework using Confluence's welcome email.  The email contains a link that the user can use to set their password.
