▪Password definitions apply only to new accounts that are created by the import process. Passwords are never changed or removed for existing users even if the password column contains a value. However, when the MustChangePasswordAtNextLogin is set to True for existing users in the Excel spreadsheet, those users must change their passwords the next time they login. Typically, users cannot change their password unless they have administrator authority; when MustChangePasswordAtNextLogin is set to True, users can change their password regardless of administrator status. By default, all imported users are required to change their passwords at next login. For more information, see Setting up the spreadsheet .

▪If a description is defined for an existing user or role, the new description overwrites the existing one.

▪If a role or project is specified for an existing user, the assignments are treated as additions to the user’s current settings. For example, specifying the Manager2 role for a user who is already a member of the Manager1 role makes that user a member of both roles.

▪Entering a blank role, project, or activity setting for a user does not delete the existing settings for that user. The only way to delete existing settings is to remove them manually using User Administration.

▪Any users, roles, projects, activities, or user settings that are not mentioned in the spreadsheet remain unchanged. Any deletions must be made manually using the appropriate activity.

▪Microsoft Excel 2007 files can be used for importing users and/or roles only when Microsoft Office 2007 or Microsoft Office Access Database Engine 2007 is installed on the server. Microsoft Office Access Database Engine 2007 can be downloaded directly from Microsoft.
