Add logins via csv

From Wikanual

Many logins can point to a single folder in INTERDUBS. This feature gets used when a fixed distribution group should have access to specific content. This is often the case for dailies.

You can prepare the login information in a spread sheet and upload it as a csv file. This file will cause the creation of multiple logins pointing to the same folder.

Navigate to the folder in question and click on

 add login via csv 

You can upload the CSV file.

The first screen will only analyze the file and will give you a preview of which logins would be created. If you then click on

 actually add XXX logins based on csv

the logins will be created and added to the folder.

There is an example csv file in the end of this page.

CSV file format

Each login has a single line in the csv file. Lines that do not have the right format will be ignored. During the analyze step the flawed lines will be displayed. The meaning of the columns is assigned via their order:

login name

Needs to be valid login name.

password

Any desired password. Can be empty. If you use the special keyword:

GENERATE

then INTERDUBS will generate a password for this login.

login name and password combination

You can not repeat the same login name and password combination

sender email

The email that logins will be sent from. Comments will flow back to the email address. Needs to be a valid email address

expiration

Can either be empty or N for no expiration. Otherwise the same format that is usually in use as described under expiring media can be used.

Job ID

Can be either empty or a number. The number is the job id of an existing job. You can obtain the job id via the

 edit job 

function under logins.

Look ID

Can be empty or the ID of an existing look.

The loook ID can be obtained from the URL of the edit or copy look function

internal login note / email address

The internal login note is one of 2 places to specify an email address that INTERDUBS will use to send mails to.
