ISMS.online offers a data import service for many work areas, including the ability to bulk import users into the platform.

Before You Start

A few important points to note:

  • Processing time: We work to a 5 working day SLA for data changes. If you need your import to go live on a specific date, please let us know in advance.
  • Minimum volume: We cannot process imports with fewer than 10 users.
  • File format: Your file must remain in .csv format, which is supported by all major spreadsheet tools.
  • Template integrity: Keep the template structure unchanged — do not move columns or alter headers — so we can process it without delays.

User Import Specifics

  • Organisation Admins: Place an X in the relevant column for users who should have Organisation Administrator rights. Leave the column blank for standard users.
  • Large imports: If you are importing more than 100 users, we recommend setting up Single Sign-On (SSO). This streamlines onboarding and role assignment.
  • Roles and permissions: The importer does not set user roles or work area access. For automated provisioning, set up SSO before adding users.
  • New User Templates (NUTs): With SSO enabled, you can use New User Templates to automatically assign roles and work area access when a new user signs in via SSO for the first time. (This applies to new users only, not existing ones.)

How to Import Users

  1. Download the template for creating a User
  2. Add each user as a new row in the template.
  3. Ensure all email addresses are valid so users receive their welcome email.
