User Import and Export¶
CSV Import¶
Users can be imported and associated to other resources by use of a CSV file. CSV Importation can be used in situations where you need to modify many users at the same in an efficient manner, or for migrating users from one system to another. A CSV file can be created and edited by spreadsheet tools such as Excel, LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc, etc.
CSV file¶
The first line of a CSV file contains a list of field names (also sometimes called “columns”). Each new line afterwards are users to import. CSV data must respect the following conditions:
- Files must be encoded in UTF-8
- Fields must be separated with a
,
- Fields can be optionally quoted with a
"
- Double-quotes can be escaped by writing them twice (e.g.
Robert ""Bob"" Jenkins
) - Empty fields or headers that are not defined will be considered null.
- Fields of type bool must be either
0
for false, or1
for true. - Fields of type int must be a positive number
In the following tables, columns have been grouped according to their resource. Each resource is created and associated to its user when all required fields for that resource are present.

Importing a file¶
Once your file is ready, you can import it via
. At the top of the page there is a plus button. A submenu will appear when the mouse is on top. Click on Import a file.Examples¶
The following example defines 3 users who each have a phone number. The first 2 users have a SIP line, where as the last one uses SCCP:
entity_id,firstname,lastname,exten,context,line_protocol
1,John,Doe,1000,default,sip
1,George,Clinton,1001,default,sip
1,Bill,Bush,1002,default,sccp
The following example imports a user with a phone number and a voicemail:
entity_id,firstname,lastname,exten,context,line_protocol,voicemail_name,voicemail_number,voicemail_context
1,John,Doe,1000,default,sip,Voicemail for John Doe,1000,default
The following exmple imports a user with both an internal and external phone number (e.g. incoming call):
entity_id,firstname,lastname,exten,context,line_protocol,incall_exten,incall_context
1,John,Doe,1000,default,sip,2050,from-extern
CSV Update¶
The field list for an update is the same as for an import with the addition of the column uuid, which is mandatory. For each line in the CSV file, the updater goes through the following steps:
- Find the user, using the uuid
- For each resource (line, voicemail, extension, etc) find out if it already exists.
- If an existing resource was found, associate it with the user. Otherwise, create it.
- Update all remaining fields
The following restrictions must also be respected during update:
- Columns that are not included in the CSV header will not be updated.
- A field that is empty (i.e, “”) will be converted to NULL, which will unset the value.
- A line’s protocol cannot be changed (i.e you cannot go from “sip” to “sccp” or vice-versa).
- An incall cannot be updated if the user has more than one incall associated.
Updating is done through the same menu as importing (
). A submenu will appear when the mouse is on top. Click on Update from file in the submenu.CSV Export¶
CSV exports can be used as a scaffold for updating users, or as a means of importing users into another system. An export will generate a CSV file with the same list of columns as an import, with the addition of uuid and provisioning_code.
Exports are done through the same menu as importing (
). Click on Export to CSV in the submenu. You will be asked to download a file.
