# Add User Entries

To add user entries to the directory from the Bulk User Provisioning tool:

Note: You cannot add MiCollab Client contacts from the Bulk User Provisioning tool. Contacts in the Bulk User Provisioning tool are read-only. Modifications to contact entries should be made in the directory service.

1. Under Applications click User and Services.

2. Click the Bulk User Provisioning tab.

3. In the Mode field, select Bulk User Add.

4. Click Add. A row for a new user entry is added. The First Name column cell is enabled for data entry and the remaining column cells are blank. The column headings list the basic data fields for an entry without any application services.

   Note: The Domain Name is read-only and is either read from a directory server or set to the local domain. You can only manage non-local domains from the directory service or by performing an LDIF file import. The domain field is set in the LDIF file and should not be changed. In all other cases, the domain field is set to the local domain.

5. Enter data in the First Name (optional), Last Name, Login ID, and Role fields. When you select a role, the cells required for that role are automatically enabled for editing. A cell entry for the record is either enabled or disabled based on the assigned role and its associated template.

6. Enter data in the remaining column cells for the user as required. Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the window to show the columns to the left. If the entry is missing any required data for the specified role or if the field contains invalid data, error icons are displayed.

7. Click to review a summary of the user and services changes that will be applied to the database. If there are any errors associated with the entry, a detailed summary of the error is provided. You must resolve the errors before you can save the entry to the directory. Click Done.

8. Check the box to select the entry.

9. Click Save. The Operation Progress window opens. When the operation is complete the entry is added to the directory with the specified data.

10. Entries that cannot be saved to the database are identified with a failed import icon. You must resolve the error before you can save the entry to the directory. Click the failed import icon for details.

Note: The grid can contain a maximum of 5000 records.
