[Dspace-tech] How to import users (epersons) into DSpace ?

[Bhavesh Patel]

Dear All,

We want to import users(epersons)(approx 200+) on specific groups into
DSpace.

i.e. We want to import 200+ users(epersons) with different group (Groups we
have already created from DSpace Administrator).

Is it possible to add  200+ users(epersons) with his own Group ID(table
'epersongroup') and Import that excel ..?

Also One thing we notice that when we add user(eperson) from DSpace
administrator then it will not send a email to that user(eperson) for reset
the password (and other details). But If we register from Main DSpace
Registration then it's send the email with URL (including the token for
complete the registration).

Please help us to import multiple users on DSpace into less no of
operations.

We are using the DSpace 3.2.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks  Regards,
*Bhavesh R. Patel *

Hi Bhavesh,

this is possible only since DSpace 4.0 where you can do it using a
command-line tool, see:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC4x/Managing+User+Accounts#ManagingUserAccounts-Fromthecommandline

If you can't wait to upgrade to 4.0 before importing the users, I
suggest you use SQL to create the new accounts (eperson table) and
group mappings (epersongroup2eperson table). You can find the DB
schema here:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Storage+Layer#StorageLayer-RDBMS/DatabaseStructure

 Also One thing we notice that when we add user(eperson) from DSpace
 administrator then it will not send a email to that user(eperson) for reset
 the password (and other details). But If we register from Main DSpace
 Registration then it's send the email with URL (including the token for
 complete the registration).

Yes, this is a known issue that we're also trying to solve for DSpace 4.0:
