Can you migrate system users prepared in staging database to CRM 2013 Online using SCRIBE?
I need to create 750 users (currently in CRM4) in CRM online and assign them to their source BUs. (Root BU excepted). I can stage them as required.
Can I migrate these users?
You cannot create users to a CRM Online using Scribe, you can only update them.
I have this issue recently and my solution was:
Create a DTS to create an CSV file* with the users: You can add the users using the Office portal or through the PowerSehll.
Creates a DTS with all the other information about the users (The CSV is pretty basic, so you will need to add all the other information related to every user).
Create a DTS with the relation between Users and Roles
*You can see the csv format in your Office portal, under Users->Active Users->Bulk add
Maybe there is a quicker way to do it, but this was the approach I found.
Note that Scribe Insight isn't able to change a users business unit.
When I had a similar requirement (to update the business units of a large number of users) I uses SQL Server Integration Services.
