Import new users

You import new users. New users are also added to the central login environment.

Points of attention:

  • Users can only be linked to existing persons.
  • System users cannot be changed using an import.
  • If you are using Windows authentication, the maximum length of user names 20 is positions.

    In AFAS Online, user names consist of a participant number and a user code, for example 12345.BKR. The participant number is also included in the maximum length.
