Importing from CSV files

Creating CSV files

You can import users from a CSV file. The columns' headings in the file must correspond with the Kerio Connect categories.

Individual fields can be separated in two ways:

• Using semicolons (;). In this case, you can separate multiple values of a field with commas (,).

Name;Password;FullName;Description;MailAddress;Groups
abird;VbD66op1;Alexandra Bird;Development;abird;read,all
abird;Ahdpppu4;Edward Wood;Sales;ewood,wood;sales,all
mtaylor;SpoiuS158;Michael Taylor;Assistant;mtaylor,michael.taylor;all

• Using commas (,). In this case, you can enclose multiple values of a field in quotations marks (" ") and separate them with comma (,).

Name;Password;FullName;Description;MailAddress;Groups
abird,VbD66op1,Alexandra Bird,Development,abird,"read,all"
ewood,Ahdpppu4,Edward Wood,Sales,"awood,wood","sales,all"
mtaylor,SpoiuS158,Michael Taylor,Assistant,"mtaylor,michael.taylor",all
