User Importer

User importers are used to import user accounts into Txture from various sources.

Introduction​

User importers allow importing accounts from CSV, Active Directory, or other means. This is useful for synchronizing user accounts with external identity management systems.

Data sources​

User importers support most data sources, the most common being:

  • CSV / Excel: Import users from a CSV or Excel file containing user information.
  • Active Directory / LDAP: Import users directly from your organization's directory service. See LDAP / Active Directory for detailed configuration.

Property mapping​

After configuring the data source, you define which columns should be mapped to user properties in Txture.

Common user properties include:

  • Username
  • Corporate ID
  • Email address
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Display name

With a click on + Add mapping you can create a new property mapping. The Input drop-down menu lists all columns shown in the transformed preview and the Target property in Txture drop-down menu lists all user properties available.

Role mapping​

You have the option to send emails to newly created users inviting them to the instance. User permissions are configured via Roles and assigned in the Role Mapping section of the importer.

Synchronization​

Like all importers in Txture, user importers are constantly in sync. Txture keeps track of the information source for each user account.

When the importer executes again, Txture will determine:

  • synced: The user account was found in the exact same state as already present in Txture and will remain untouched.
  • updated: One or more properties of a user have changed in the data source and will be updated accordingly.
  • removed: The user account is not present in the data source any more and will be removed in Txture as well.
