Give Access to Employees via CSV Import

Need to give access to employees via CSV import.

To give access to employees via CSV import, please follow the steps below:

  1.  Create and save a CSV file with the following columns –
    • Internal ID (of the Employee record)
    • Role
    • Password
    • Confirm Password
    • Require Password Change
    • Give Access
  2. Update the Employee Record via CSV Import
  1. Navigate to Setup > Import/Export Import CSV Records
  2. Set the following:
    • Import Type = Employees
    • Record Type Employees
  3. Choose the CSV file
  4. Click Next
  5. Set Data Handling = Update
  6. Click Next
  7. Map the fields:
    • Internal ID <> Employee : Internal ID
    • Role <> Employee Roles 1: Role
    • Password <> Employee: Password
    • Confirm Password <> Confirm Password
    • Require Password Change <> Employee: Require Password Change On First Login
    • Give Access <> Employee: Give Access (user can set the default value to YES by clicking on the pencil icon)
  8. Click Next
  9. Click Save & Run

Additional Notes:

  • If Give Access is not visible in the Step 4 Field Mapping stage, it is possible that the field is hidden in the Custom Employee Form used. Go Back to Step 2 Import Options > Click Advanced Options to verify.
  • Note that if the user has access to different Entities, then the system might not accept the Password set. You may review SuiteAnswer Id 69127: Create New Employee Record > Give Access Set Password > Only the user can change this password, as this user has access to more than one NetSuite account.
