Converting a Google user list CSV file to the required format for the bulk import process
A CSV file of Google users that has been downloaded from the Google Admin console can be converted to a format that is suitable for use with the bulk user account creation process.
Note:
This procedure uses the Veritas Alta Archiving Google CSV Converter tool (version 1.0.0.2) to process the Google CSV file.
To convert the Google user list CSV file to the required format for the bulk import process
Check the contents of the output Google CSV file that the client has supplied. Note the following:
The import process uses only the first three columns from the Google CSV file, namely Email address, First name, and Last name. These three columns must be present in the CSV file. The rest of the columns and their content are ignored for the purposes of the conversion.
The CSV file name must not contain any special characters.
- Obtain the Veritas Alta Archiving Google CSV Converter tool, and double-click the file
Google CSV Converter.exe
to start it.Note:
For more details of the conversion process, refer to the Transfer of Information (TOI) document that accompanies the converter tool.
- Click Load File and select the Google CSV file that you want to convert.
The CSV Input pane then displays the contents of the loaded CSV file.
- Under Configuration, select the check boxes for the generic archive account configuration options.
Note:
These options are applied generically for all of the users, but you have the opportunity later in the procedure to edit the values manually for individual users.
Choose the generic options as follows:
Select Is Archive to enable archiving to the archive account.
Select Personal Archive to enable login to Alta Personal Archive for the account.
Under Role, select the role for each archive account. You can choose from Account, Reviewer, or Administrator.
If you choose Administrator as the role, you can optionally select the View All Accounts check box, to add the ability to view all accounts.
If you choose Administrator as the role, the Enter Built-In Privilege option becomes available. Select this option to specify a built-in privilege for the user, and then select the privilege from the Built-In Privilege radio buttons.
- Click Convert to create the initial definition for the output file.
The Preview window shows the current definition for the content of the output file.
- Examine the values in the Preview window, and if required make any manual changes to the values for any individual users.
Note:
You can change the generic configuration settings and rerun the Convert if you want, but this action overwrites any manual changes you have made in the Preview window.
- Click Save to save the output file content as currently defined in the Preview window.
When you name the output CSV file, do not include any special characters.
- Close the Google CSV Converter tool.
You can now check the output CSV file, and use it as a user upload list for the bulk creation of users.
