Import Groups
If you are an identity domain administrator or a user administrator, you can batch import groups using a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
-
Use these sample files as a starting point.
-
Extract the compressed file and then open the
Groups.csv
file. -
Review and then delete any demo data in the
Groups.csv
file.Tip:
To familiarize yourself with the import process, consider importing just the demo data. You can then delete the unwanted demo data from Oracle Identity Cloud Service before you begin importing live data. -
Create an import file using the
Groups.csv
file. TheGroups.csv
file is a simple text file in a tabular format (rows and columns). The first row in the file defines the columns (fields) in your table. At a minimum, the file must have these exact column headings.-
Display Name

Description
-
User Members
Tip:
Ensure that the fields in these columns are unique. Also, verify that the user names that appear in the User Members column already exist in Oracle Identity Cloud Service.For each account, you create a new row (line) and enter data into each column (field). Each row equals one record.Important:
The IDs of the users that you want to import into Oracle Identity Cloud Service must contain at least three characters. The names of the groups that you want to import into Oracle Identity Cloud Service must contain at least five characters.
The telephone numbers of the users that you want to import must meet the requirements of the RFC 3966 specification.
The maximum number of rows in group import file must not exceed 100,000 and the import file size must not exceed 52 MB.
To create a CSV file, you can use a standard spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, or you can use a text editor, such as Notepad or TextPad.

-
Save your file in a CSV format.
- Open the CSV file with a text editor, such as Notepad.
- Save the file with UTF-8 for encoding. Saving the file in UTF-8 format ensures that non-English characters display properly.
Note:
If you do not save the file in a CSV format with UTF-8 encoding, the import fails.
