The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Import using Bulk Administration Tool
Manually add new users
Before importing your end users, plan and configure the roles, access aontrol groups, and credential policies for your end users.
Using the Bulk Administration Tool, you can perform bulk transactions to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database, including importing and updating large numbers of end users, phones, and ports, in a single process. The Bulk Administration Tool allows you to import the end user list, and end user configurations, from a CSV file into the database.
For details on how to use the Bulk Administration Tool to import end users, see the Bulk Administration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Command or Action | Purpose | |

Assign any local end users that you provision to an access control group with the required role permissions. Local users include any manually provisioned end users and any end users whom you import using the Bulk Administration Tool.
