Update by Import
Importing allows you to edit your organization’s user data using Excel or CSV files. In a single operation, you can add, edit, remove and delete accounts. You can also edit users’ roles and their access to Antidote Web.
The update by import is only offered with Antidote Web and is reserved for administrators and technicians.
Important — Accounts synchronized through automated provisioning (beta) cannot be changed by importing data.
General Procedure
- Export the list of users.
- Edit the information in the exported file.
- Import the updated file.
If an email address or unique identifier is already linked to a user in the organization, the newly imported data will replace the data previously saved in the Organization – Client Portal.
Editing Data
When updating the data in the file, take care not to change the headers: the system uses the name of each column to determine the type of content in its cells. You can still change the order of the columns. Below follows some information about modifying each column.

Do you need to perform a bulk reassignment or removal of access to Antidote Web?
This might be the case if you wish to reduce the number of users with access when renewing the organization’s subscription. Or, in the case of an educational institution, student access may need to be updated when a new semester gets underway. See this three-step procedure for a simple way of performing this operation.
