To create one or more collections with a CSV file:
This is a two-step process as described below:
Step 1: Prepare the CSV file
|
NOTE: Using a CSV file provides the following additional benefits:
- Multiple collections can be created with the same CSV file.
- Existing collections can be specified in the CSV file to add additional accounts
- Accounts can be listed in multiple collections
|
You can choose one of two formats to prepare the CSV file:
Format 1: Use the ObjectId to identify accounts
- ObjectId - Column header for the globally unique identifier that represents a discovered account. The following variations of ObjectId are supported: ObjectId, objectid, objectId, OBJECTID
- Collection - Column header for the collection name
Format 2: Use the UserPrincipalName to identify accounts
- UserPrincipalName - Column header for the login name of an account based on the Internet standard RFC 822. Do not use a mail nickname or proxy address. The following variations of UserPrincipalName are supported: UserPrincipalName, userprincipalname, USERPRINCIPALNAME
- Collection - Column header for the collection name
