Import account data

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Access to the IDaaS console with permission to manage accounts

  • (For EIAM 1.0 migration) Organization paths that match between EIAM 1.0 and EIAM 2.0 — if the paths differ, the import fails

Create an import task

  1. On the Accounts And Orgs page, choose Import > Import Account. Select a template format based on your data source:

    Important

    If you are migrating from EIAM 1.0, confirm that organization paths are identical in both EIAM 1.0 and EIAM 2.0 before importing. Mismatched paths cause the import to fail.

    TemplateFormatUse when
    IDaaS EIAM 2.0 templateCSVCreating or updating accounts in IDaaS EIAM 2.0
    IDaaS EIAM 1.0 templateXLSMigrating data from IDaaS EIAM 1.0

  2. Fill in the template. The following table describes the fields in the EIAM 2.0 CSV template: To find the organization path for your accounts, go to Accounts And Orgs > Organization.

    Important

    Do not delete any field columns from the template. Removing columns causes the import to fail.

    FieldField nameRequiredBehavior when updating an existing account
    Account nameusernameYesOverwrites the existing value
    Organization pathorganizationalUnitPathYesOverwrites the existing value
    Phone numberphoneNumberNoOverwrites the existing value if provided
    Area codephoneRegionRequired if phoneNumber is setOverwrites the existing value if provided
    Other basic fieldsNoSkipped if left blank ��� existing data is unchanged
    Extension fieldscustomFieldMap.<field identity>NoMust meet extension field requirements

  3. Configure the import settings:

    • Initial password: For new accounts, choose whether to skip password setup (for example, for QR code or SMS verification code login) or set a password using the initial password policy. The policy must be enabled. This setting does not affect existing accounts.

    • Unique identifier: By default, each import row creates a new account. To update existing accounts instead, select a unique identifier field. When the value of that field matches an existing account, the import updates the account rather than creating a new one.

    • Description: Enter a description to distinguish this import task from others. The description appears on the Import Record page.

  4. Click Start Import.

    Important

    The import only adds and modifies accounts — it does not delete any accounts. The operation is irreversible. Test with a small batch of data before running a full import.

Export account data

Create an export task

On the Accounts And Orgs page, choose Export > Export Account.

Set the Export Scope to filter by organization and group — only accounts within the specified scope are exported. Enter an optional Description to identify the export task.
