Adding Roles to Users

Modifying Existing User Roles
1. Navigate to Settings → Manage Users and click on Export CSV in the top right corner.
2. From your exported CSV, copy and paste the user roles, locations, and email addresses of the user you wish to modify to the Import Data template.
3. For the Action on Duplicate column:
- LEAVE FIELD BLANK - If this field is left empty, and the role does not currently exist for this user in the system, the role will be added to the user's permissions. If the role does exist, the role settings will update.
- IGNORE - this line will be ignored on import. Use this keyword to make no changes for this specific line.
- REMOVE LOCATION - use this keyword to keep the role assigned to the user, but remove the location in which it is assigned. All other locations assigned to this role will remain if not edited on the import.
- REMOVE ROLE - use this keyword to remove the role from the user's permissions. All locations where this role is applied will be removed along with the role.
If this field is left empty, and the role does not currently exist for this user in the system, the role will be added to the user's permissions.
4. When complete, return to Procurify and select SETTINGS→ Manage Users and click on Export CSV. Select Browse & Upload CSV. If completed properly, you will see a success screen, and your users will be updated.
- If there are errors, make the required changes before re-uploading the CSV.
