How to import users

The Import Users function can be used to complete several tasks related to user profiles in Procurify. Use this article for instructions on how to use the import template properly. If users being added already exist as part of another domain, the password being imported will not take effect, but the existing password for those users will continue to work. Due to customization, Location and Department may have unique labeling. In this article, we are using the default labels Location and Department. Learn more here.
