How would import a large number of group in laserfiche cloud and assign users to these group

asked on July 24, 2020

I need to import a large amount a groups in laserfiche cloud(over 2000 groups(customer has 241 stores and multiple document type with different access restriction ), what would be my option?

Is there an API on laserfiche cloud that I could use to create the users and groups?

I considered using robotic process automation with the account page(I have trouble writing to the field "Group name * " after clicking the "Save and create another" because the action changes the identity of the field.).

In Laserfiche cloud you can import a users list from a CSV file to create users but not group ex:

EmailAddress,FirstName,LastName,Name,Password,LicenseType
johnsmith@Company.com,John,Smith,johnsmith,asdf1234,Full
janesmith@Company.com,Jane,Smith,janesmith,qwerty1234,None

Would there be a way to do the same with groups and users assignment to group like:

Type;EmailAddress,FirstName,LastName,Name,Password,LicenseType;Groups

Group,,,,Administration,,

Group,,,,TI,,
User,johnsmith@Company.com,John,Smith,johnsmith,asdf1234,Full,Administration|IT
User,janesmith@Company.com,Jane,Smith,janesmith,qwerty1234,None ,Administration

Thanks

Simon,

We do not currently have a Group import in Laserfiche Cloud. I do like the idea of utilizing our RPA Bots to accomplish the task. I see the problem you are experiencing with it and will check with our developers to see if we can come up with any clever workarounds for the issue.

I will note that although there may be some future features that may aid this customer, such as a Web API or the ability to sync Identity Provider groups to Laserfiche groups, the system and physical burden of managing 2,000 complex groups may not provide for a positive experience. While this is something our self hosted solution may be better suited to handle, there is no simple solution that would aid in the import and maintenance of such a large number of groups.

Thanks,

Shawn;
