Users not imported

Good morning,

I just tried a full meta-data export → import and for now everything looks fine but the users…

Even if “users” was selected when the file was created, they were not imported.

I tried to export only the users and the xml looks fine (attached)… but they are not found when i import (dhis2 info and import summary below).

Thanks!

Hi Marta,

Yes, actually we only support export of users at this time. It is a bit tricky to support import, since it would mean that all passwords etc would be exposed in the XML file (even though they are hashed).

We hope to support this, but right now, there is no way to do this through the web-api / meta-data import

Hi Morten,

knowing it is intended… it´s ok and it actually makes perfect sense. I just thought there was something missing somewhere.

Cheers,

Marta
