We shall soon be using 7.5 in production. Is there an easy way to bulk create the following from CSV or similar?

Groups with roles
Users and then have roles added

Probably looking at around 40-50 groups and maybe 100+200 users.

Thanks

Don't think there is a out of the box way of doing this.

Depending on how your CSV file is structured I would either import it directly to the database (this works if you have the same strukture as the tables) take a backup before doing this. Else I would do a code snippet for reading the file and creating the uesers.

I am facing the same problem here, need to create 100+ users.

It would be nice having some bulk feature given a list of names and output users.

I dont think our 3rd party developers will do this as its probably outside of the scope of the agreed work. My background is in the infrastructure of running/hosting installations & zero experiance in episerver development. From what I can tell its using aspnet roles/users to store the users but I wouldnt want to start adding stuff directly to the tables. I did look around on the add-on store but nothing in there for user management.
