How to Add Appdome Users From CSV

This Knowledge Base article provides an overview of adding new members to an Appdome team from a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. With this method, you can quickly create teams or invite new members with the right roles and entitlements instead of assigning them manually.

About Adding Team Members From CSV

In many organizations, team collaboration is crucial for project success. Appdome’s platform facilitates this by allowing you to create teams within the workflow and assign specific “right-to-use” entitlements that define each member’s role and responsibilities. These entitlements are essential for task-specific assignments within the Appdome workflow, ensuring that team members’ capabilities are effectively utilized and responsibilities are clearly delineated.

Understanding Team Roles and Entitlements

Entitlements serve as specific rights granted to team members to perform certain tasks within the Appdome workflow. These are set to ensure that every team member contributes to the project within the scope of their assigned roles. Adding members through a CSV file automates the process of assigning these roles and entitlements, significantly reducing manual setup time and potential errors.
