Fields in a .csv file that contain user account information

The BlackBerry Administration Service uses a .csv file to add user account information to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. The following table lists the fields in the .csv file that might be populated when you import user account information.

Field

Description

 

 

Email Address

The field specifies the email address for the user account.

 

 

SRP ID

This field specifies the SRP ID for the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that you want

 

to add the user account to.

 

 

Group Names

This field specifies the names of groups that you want to add the user account

 

to.

 

 

Activation Password Operation

This field specifies whether an activation password is required to activate the

 

user account and whether that password will be specified by the administrator

 

or the BlackBerry Administration Service. The activation password value

 

specified in this field can either be "specify", "none", or "generate" in lower

 

case only. The activation password operation must be the same on each line in

 

the .csv file.

 

If the field is set to "specify", the activation password and the expiry time (in

 

hours) are optional fields in the .csv file. If the activation password and the expiry

 

time values are not included in the .csv file, you will be prompted to specify

 

these values the after uploading the .csv file. If you specify the activation

 

password and the expiry time for the user accounts, the values must be provided

 

on every line of the csv file.

 

If the field is set to "generate", the password is automatically generated by the

 

BlackBerry Administration Service and the final two fields of each .csv line must

 

be empty. The activation password will expire if the user does not activate the

 

BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server before the password

 

timeout elapses. The default value is 48 hours.

 

If the field is set to "none", the user account will be created without an activation

 

password and the final two fields of each .csv line must be empty.

 

To activate a BlackBerry device on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server over the

 

wireless network, an activation password is required.

 

 

Activation Password

This field specifies the activation password for the user account if an activation

 

password is required.
