# Simple Provisioning through the Admin Console

## Addition of Users

To add users manually through the user interface, follow these steps.

1. Login to the [Admin Console](https://keepersecurity.com/console).
2. Select the Node that the user will belong to. By default, the top level root node is selected.
3. From the Users Tab, select the **+ Add Users** button.
4. Enter the **Name** and **Email** of the user and then click **Add**.
5. The user will receive an email to create their vault with a Master Password or SSO, depending on what node they are located in.

## Bulk User Import

You can also import many users at once via a comma-delimited text file (.csv).

### Preparing a file for Bulk User Import

The file format for a CSV file upload is 3 columns: **Email Address, Name, Role**.

The Role field is optional. Keeper recommends you create a default, "General Employee" role and all users imported will be automatically applied to that role, for example:

Convert the file to .csv by selecting **File > Save As... > (.csv)**

A few important notes about preparing a CSV file for user importing:

* Ensure that the file does not contain a header row.
* Only roles without Admin Permissions can be imported.  Any row containing a Role that has Administrative Permissions will be skipped.
* Don't populate a default role in the column. This is not necessary and will generate error messages.  Simply leave the Role blank to inherit the default ole.
* If you include a Role name, make sure it matches the exact spelling in the Admin Console.

### Performing Bulk User Import

1. From the Admin Console, select **Admin > Users**.
2. Select the **+ Add Users**.
3. Drag and drop a prepared CSV file with 3 columns: **Name**, **Email** and Optional **Role.**

After dragging and dropping the file, you will be asked to review the changes.  Note the default role will appear empty. Click **Add** to complete the import.
