Managing Guests and Internal Users
This section covers the batch importing and updating of internal users. Internal users are
managed internally by PaperCut ChargeBack, and may be used in addition to those in the
configured user directory source. For more information about internal users see Section 25.1, “Internal Users (users managed by PaperCut ChargeBack)”. For information
about importing and updating regular users see Section 6.6, “Batch User Data Import and
Update”.
The batch internal user import and update feature allows the administrator to import users,
user information and optionally update existing internal user details by reading data from a
simple text file. In addition to being able to create internal users, it enables administrators
to update the following user data:
•
Password
•
Credit balance
•
Restriction status
•
Full name
•
Email address
•
Department
•
Office
•
Card/ID Number
•
Card/ID PIN
•
Notes
Important
An internal user can be deleted by selecting the Delete user action while viewing the user. Features to simplify the deletion of multiple users (a 'batch delete') will be introduced in a future version.
Examples of where the batch user import feature is useful include:
•
Several guests to the organization will be arriving at the same time and will require their
own accounts in PaperCut ChargeBack.
•
A set of users needs to be managed separately / externally to the existing user directory source. For example, the users of a certain computer lab require their own accounts
in PaperCut ChargeBack, but it is not possible to create accounts for them in the existing user directory.
•
Details for existing internal users needs to be updated.
To perform a batch internal user import:
1.
Manually inspect your file in a text editor and ensure it's in the prescribed tab-delimited
format as detailed at Section 25.1.3.1, “Batch Internal User Import File Format”.
2.
Follow the directions in Section A.1, “Server Commands (server-command)” to run the
server-command batch-import-internal-users.
