Hi Chad,

I have a client with multiple portals in a DNN instance. We are adding a new portal to the instance and want to add specific users from the other portals to this new one.

Each user uses a consistent  username, password and email address for the various portals. How would I add these users to the new portal with Interactive User Import without modifying their existing passwords? (Note I don't have the module so I need to determine if it will help me do this.)

Thanks,

Rob Ralston

Rob,

Hi. Well this possible with Interactive User Import. There are two ways of doing this. One, if you are a host user on the IUI module, during the wizard/setup process for the import there is an option to 'Add user to all portals'. This is one possible way of doing this. The other way is to use an Interactive SQL Event and during the import process it can add them to the UserPortals table. Its actually impossible for a user to exist with the same username, and a different password between portals etc... The way to do this is to add a row to the PortalUsers table associating the portalID and UserID for the user. This is also how single sign on and so forth adds users to the portal automatically for Dynamic Login etc... Hope this helps.

Hi Chad,

I was aware that users must have the same username and password combination on all such portals. I was mainly concerned the import process would possibly modify existing passwords to something else.

Anyway, it souns like it can be done, but what exactly are the steps?

Do I export the users from a portal, then import and set a SQL event like you indicated? Is there a user manual which would show me how to do this?

Hi. Well if you are not importing a new password it shouldn't affect it. If the users already exist on the server you might just need to use the SQL Event within Interactive User Import or use the option to add the user to 'all portals'. To be completely honest though I don't know that you even need Interactive User Import at all. I think you could simply go to the server and add all users to the portal automatically.

Such as this:

Insert Into UserPortals (UserID, PortalID, CreatedDate, Authorised)
Select UserID, 2, GetDate(), 1 from UserPortals Where PortalID = 0


This can be used without IUI, and basically says... Add the user to portalID 2 if they are already part of portalID 0.
