Batch import user accounts from a spreadsheet

I have a spreadsheet with about 300 people I need to create accounts for in our Vanilla forum. Rather than tediously doing this one at a time from the dashboard, is there a way to import the spreadsheet into Vanilla? Ideally doing this would also generate the notification emails alerting users that an account has been created as well. Thanks for any help!

There is not currently a way to do this. You'll have to use SQL to do this.

Thanks Todd, so I would just have to import them directly into the database? I assume doing so wouldn't generate the automatic notification emails to the individual users, no?

Right

You'll also need to assign those users to the default role. Have a look at this discussion.
