Data Integration: running import to specific folder?

Hello,

I am importing a bunch of users to the user management via an xml file. This task runs 1 time a day, to ensure we have the most recent users in the system. In the import task's destination setting I have checked the "remove missing users" in order to remove users who are no longer to be found in the XML file.

This works the way I want to, however, I have 2 other User groups which contain users who are "static" in that manner, they should always be able to login etc... They are now gone as well.. I see the option to check -> "Do not remove users from the  newsletter recipient group", however isn't it possible ti encapsulate the import in a more "clean way" ?. I reckon I could move my group/groups into the Newsletter Recipient group and check the above mentioned option - but that seems kinda odd..

Any thoughts on the matter?

I am running the latest version of Dynamicweb :)

Regards,

MikkelTO

Hi Mikkel,

Currently, that is the only solution to your problem (that I can think of).

It sounds like you do not have one "master" system, which keeps track of your users - isn't it possible that these "static" users ought to be created in your external system as well, so that you have all your user information collected in one place?

Otherwise, I am a bit curious about what your use case is, where you need to administer some users in dynamicweb, and some users in an external system - that sounds less than optimal?

 

If we are talking about admin users, that is a bug, and we will have to fix it, but that isn't clear from your description.

Regards, Jonas
