You should consider the following before running a bulk import:

• Existing users are ignored and won't be updated.
• Only local users will be created.
• Duplicates user accounts, identified by their Login Names, won't be imported.
• Users can only be associated with form spaces used to host forms, but not other spaces such as the Manager console. You can manually assign the missing form spaces after the importing.
• If a user who does the bulk import is not a global administrator, then it can't grant global access to users being imported.

Manager runs a virus scanning service before an import file is processed, so the antivirus service must be properly configured and enabled. If a virus is detected, the import operation fails and a corresponding record is added to the Error Log.  |  23.04 This feature was introduced in 23.04
