How to create several profiles through import?

When you want to create several profiles at once, you can add them in bulk through a standard CSV table.

This feature's availability depends on your subscription plan and role.

Definition:profile is a user within an organization. Each user is linked to one or various organizations with their profiles. The profile contains all the relevant information of that user regarding parking management. A list of profiles is a standard csv table, completed with the relevant parking users information to create their profiles through a single import.


When should I import a list of profiles?

The creation of profiles is essential for an administrator to be able to subsequently assign parking lot accesses to its users, manage their roles and manage their access to parking lots and vehicles. Anyone with access to Izix has a profile, regardless of their role (administrator or simple user). 

When the amount of users to be created is important, importing multiple profiles at once will enable you to gain valuable time and efficiency when having to create multiple profiles at once.

For example: a new team is joining your organisation. Instead of manually creating their profiles one by one, we advise you to import the required information at once in Izix in one sitting.

Tags: Tags are keywords to facilitate the classification of your profiles (for example: you can create tags related to the professions of your employees in order to classify them more easily and then manage them in groups of users).

Unique external reference: this is for example an internal matricule number at your company, which you can link to a profile.

Tip: We recommend the use of "tags" when creating a profile list. These will enable you to easily sort the list of profiles in the software and could simplify future processes like the assignment of access rights.

The CSV file with the list of profiles must follow a specific layout. It is recommended not to modify the structure of the template.
