Bulk provision of users and grouplist

[soumyakarmakar]

Hi,

How to bulk provision users and groups in alfresco say for example 500 users.
Once the users and groups are bulk provisioned, how to populate users in bulk in various group
rather than adding the users manually in the individual groups

Thanks,
Som.

Bulk user import is not available in Alfresco Explorer Out of Box.
If you are using the Alfresco Share as well there you will be able to do it.
You need to prepare one CSV file and import that in share.
