Add or update users in bulk

The account admin can do bulk updates to user profiles using an uploaded CSV. For example, you could use this method if your company has changed its name, to ensure all your users have the correct information set for their account.  

There are opportunities to make mistakes in the process, so follow the steps closely.

This process requires a .CSV file in a specific format. Below, there's a sample file that this article references. This .CSV can be used for your bulk user update, once you've enter your user-specific data.

Save this file as a .CSV file to upload it to Adobe Acrobat Sign. To save it, open the document in Microsoft Excel and choose File > Save As. Choose .CSV from the Save as Type pop-up menu.

Specific information is necessary to create or change a user's information in our system.

  • Email Address (Mandatory) - The user's current e-mail address or the e-mail address of the user you want to create is the only mandatory piece of data we need

  • Last Name (Required if creating new users, Optional if updating existing users) - The value for the user's last name

      • There is no space between the group name and the opening square bracket containing the status values
    • Status values are delimited by a single space between the values
    • Multiple Group Definitions can be included, using a semicolon as the delimiter (no spaces)
      • eg: Group Name[Status];Some Other Group[Status1 Status2 Status3];Last Group[StatusA StatusB]

  • Is Group Admin (Optional) - TRUE: This user is or should be an admin of their group FALSE: This user is not and shouldn't be an admin of their group
  • Can Send Documents (Optional) - If set to false this user cannot use the service to send agreements
  • Can Sign Documents (Optional) - if set to False the user will not be able to sign e-Sign service agreements. They can still send agreements assuming 'Can send' is set to true
  • Status (Optional) -  Active or Inactive. Inactive users cannot log into the service.

The Update panel is exposed where you can upload the CSV to edit your users.
