Adding Community Members - Vendor Project Manager

Vendor Project Managers can:

• Add, but not invite, users individually or in bulk who are from their organization.

• Only grant them the Vendor Project Manager role or Linguist role.

3. Select Choose File and upload a csv file with the following columns:

   1. Username, Role

   2. If Role is left blank, the user will be assigned the linguist role.

      To assign a user in the bulk upload a Vendor Project Manager role, enter the value "PM"

4. Select Save.

5. The bulk import option does two things:

   1. It first looks at the Username listed in the Username column and checks if that Login ID can be associated with an existing user of the default community of the user who ran the bulk user import. If that user does exist, then that user is invited into the client's community instead of creating a new user. 

   2. If there isn't a user associated with that Username, then a new user is created and they are either sent an invitation or given the password you set.
