Export and import Serv-U User Collections

Serv-U enables you to import and export user accounts as collections to speed up user provisioning in large-scale deployments. In these cases, it can be very helpful to work with a program like Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice / LibreOffice Calc to conveniently create large CSV files  

Note: Users who make use of the Calc program to work with the CSV file must be aware that they must disable the Merge Delimiters option in order to correctly import and export users, or the CSV file will be incorrectly formatted
 

Export users:

1. Open the Serv-U Management Console.
2. Go to either the Global or a Domain level.
3. Go to the Users menu and choose the user collection you want to export if you have more than 1.
4. Click Export.
5. Navigate to where you want to save the file.
6. In the File Path field at the lower part, enter a filename to be created.
7. To export all users in this domain/server, click Yes, To export only the users in this user collection, click No.

   A message is displayed showing how many accounts have been exported, and the name of the file they have been exported to.

8. .Click OK to close.

Import users:

1. Open the Serv-U management console.
2. Go to either the Global or a  Domain level.
3. Go to the Users menu, and click Import.
4. Navigate to the required CSV file, and click select.
5. A message is displayed saying how many accounts were imported.
6. Click OK to close.

Notes:

• In the exported CSV file, the value of states in DirAccess Maxsize is bytes ex. 5242880000 = 5GB 
• When using a CSV file to create users, the password will be encrypted and will need to be reset by the administrator.
• Exporting and Importing Users and Users collections are only applicable to local/domain users and database users.
