Issue/Introduction
WSS Portal administrator wants to add a large number of new administrators with various roles
Administrator information available in CSV file but no option seems to exist for buld administrator uploads
Only options to add users seems to be a manual one
Environment
WSS Portal
Resolution
Although no option exists to import batch files containing administrators, there maybe an easier approach to add users with browser developer tools. Here's an example of how we can use the Firefox developer tools to add admin users to the WSS Portal easily. Note that curl/POSTMAN plugin can also do this but the key is that the REST calls must be done whilst current administrator session is still active.
1. Enable Firefox developer tools enabled after logging into Portal as a current administrator
2. Add a new administrator from the list of admin users to be added
3. Using Firefox developer tools, identify the request with your users information (search payload for the First name of User we added) and under header section, you will see a RESEND option as shown below
4. Modify/edit the POST payload and change user info (Firstname, Lastname and email address) – and hit submit
5. Repeat for each new user on the list.
