Mapping fields

In the second step of import (refer to the screenshot below), you can drag and map the columns (from the panel on the left) to the respective attribute in Securden (on the right.)

For example, the first entry in your CSV/XLS could represent First Name in Securden, the second entry might represent Last Name.

Similarly, you can map Username --> Username, Password --> Password, URL --> URL, Hostname --> Hostname (created as additional field), Extra --> Extra (created as additional field), Grouping ---> Folders, and more.

Include first row

The first row on the excel sheet is excluded by default. You can opt to include this by clicking the checkbox.

Add Additional Fields

To include the additional fields present in your file, you can edit the attributes of an existing user role and add these additional fields or create a custom user role to map the additional attributes present.

To create a custom user role, navigate to Admin >> Customization >> Custom User Roles. (Refer Custom User Roles section for more details.)
