Hi Anders,

Is it possible to import and manage users in a specific group? Yes!

In this example all users are updated/inserted, but ONLY if they are part of group "SomeGroup" as given in the filter. So in this example user "Very VIP" will be ignored.

Is it possible to delete rows missing in import, but restricted to group? No!

But I believe for this behaviour to be undesired, so I have created an internal work item that will change the behaviour so that the "Delete missing rows" will take filters on the job into consideration. This will be implemented in 8.6.

Additional information

With 8.6 it will also be possible to run jobs parameterized on the fly. You may have one job that you call from the outside, requesting the jobrunner url. In your example you want a job that should apply for different user groups for each calling. As for now you would need separate jobs, each with an individual filter.

With 8.6 a single job called with different parameters will do:

The parameter to apply in the calling of the jobrunner.aspx would be something like
... ?jobsToRun=ImportUsers&filter={{Groups|=|Dealers}}

You may apply several filters, separated by semicolon:
.. ?jobsToRun=myJob&filter={{OrderDate|>|2014-09-01;OrderCompleted|=|1}}

Hope the above answers your questions - otherwise feel free to elaborate.

Best regards
