Project Portfolio Server - Importing User List

[Brian H]

Is it possible to do a mass import of Users in Project Portfolio Server?
Other than entering each user into the User Management page, I am hoping for
an easier method to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

I know that portfolio Server has an import function. I would check out if
this will also import users. Having said this, I doubt that you can do that.
I know that Portfolio Server does not have an AD integration and so far we
had to manually add users.
Hope this helps

Unless I am missing something, the import options in Settings > Data Transfer
only import project/application attributes. There is a users option, but
this will import user attributes for particular projects. For example, the
project manager or project sponsor of the project.

If anyone has another solution, let us know. Thanks!

Something tells me that you are running out of luck Brain, sorry to say, but
I dont believe that there is a way to import the user list. You will have to
do this manually I believe. The problem is that Portoflio Server does not
consist of an API where you can import data, it has a read only API Lets
hope that the next realease is more "Enterprise ready".
