Assigning Group/ Role to numerous users

In Portal we come usually come across challenges which kills our much more than required time.
Like for assigning selected users a certain list, we need to search that particular role first through user management and then assign it to the users needed. To decrease efforts of this tedious task I have mentioned some points under this post.



  • Create a Role. Give Unique Name and description and assign it to 1 user.



  • Once done search for your role. Select and then Export button.



  • Select and copy the exported text into notepad.




  •  Now open your excel, select the user list, whom you want to assign that role and click on Merge cells. 

  • Select your merged column and do (Ctrl+F). 

                Enter in Search for : <space>.
                Replace with          : ;
                and press Replace All.


  • You will get following text in the end. Copy the text.

  •  In the user field enter semicolon <;> and the paste the text copied from previous step.



  •  Save the text file.

Go to User Management in Portal → Import → Browse for the text file. Click on the Overwrite Existing Data checkbox. Click on Upload Button.

Role is now updated and assigned to the required users.
