Import Users

[shin4649]

Hi all,

Is there a way to import users to CQ5 repository easily? I have over 500 users.

I am using CQ5.3.

Thank you.

Great point Yogesh -- the community articles are tested on 5.5 and 5.6.x. Thanks for clarifying here.

Thanks for the reply. But how do I insert the input file (txt file or excel file) containing the username information?

Will all the code sit in CQ5 or a development tool (ie Eclipse)?

Hello,

You need to develop custom importer using above API to get data from your input file and store it in CRX.

Since REST API for users is not available in CQ5.3, You can use Jackrabbit of CQ API in CQ5.3 to create user and profile info respectively.

You can work with the User Manager service. Although this article was written and tested for 5.5/5.6 - the UserManager service should be part of 5.3:

This article discusses how to work with the UserManager service to add CQ users.
