Hi,

Here's the situation:

a) I imported a group of users several months ago; let's call them OldUsers.
b) I have since forgotten the format required to import users.
c) I now wish to import a new, different group of users, without overwriting the existing group of users. (Essentially, I want to merge the two groups in a larger group.)

So:

1) What is the format required for an import? Is it

"name","email[at]email.com","password"

or something else?

(I assume I can put them in a .csv or .txt.)

2) I have changed the usergroup of the existing, already imported users; they are now OldUsers.

Is changing their usergroup from Imported Users to OldUsers sufficient, or must I run the "clean database" command in addition, before importing a new group of users?

Thanks! :)

You need to follow these instructions for running another import:

If you are importing from a CSV or TXT file then the format you have said is correct although you should use the exact email addresses with an @ not [at]
