Is it possible to configure an automation to modify users based on the values in department, manager, and so on? How to schedule bulk import from a CSV file?

You can configure automations to modify users based on specific conditions. To do so, you will need to apply a suitable user modification template to the automation being created. The modification rules option in the user modification templates lets you configure rules to automatically update specific attributes if a certain condition is satisfied. For example, auto-update the "manager" field depending on the values in "department" and so on. To specify the user accounts to be modified, you can use the CSV import option.

 

 

Firstly, you need to follow the steps mentioned here to create a user modification template. After creating the template, please follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Go to the Automation tab.
