Assigning Users to Devices by Importing a CSV File

Before you begin

Each user you assign to a device must have a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) connection to SOTI MobiControl. See Setting up an LDAP connection.

About this task

Assign multiple LDAP users to devices in one operation by importing a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. The file must contain a list of LDAP users and the devices to assign them to.

Use the Import User Assignments option to:
  • Assign multiple LDAP users to devices in one step.
  • Reduce errors by using a structured, repeatable format.
  • Simplify bulk user-to-device assignment practices across teams.
  • Update existing assignments during transitions.
Note: The CSV file must use the following format:
DeviceID, UserName, LdapConnection

To assign multiple LDAP users to devices:

  1. From the main menu, select Devices.
  2. Right-click View All and select Import User Assignments.

    File Explorer opens.
  4. In File Explorer, select the CSV file containing the LDAP user and device assignments to import.
  5. In the Import User Assignments dialog box, select Import.
