Bulk provisioning Forced Authorization Codes


If using Forced Authorization Codes in quantity, it may be beneficial to bulk provision them.

How to do it...

  1. First we must prepare the CSV file. The CSV file will generally have the following fields:

    • FORCED AUTHORIZATION CODE

    • AUTHORIZATION CODE NAME

    • AUTHORIZATION LEVEL

  2. Next upload the CSV file by selecting Forced Authorization Codes and Insert Forced Authorization Codes, as shown in the following screenshot:

  3. Finally, after the file is uploaded we can insert the Forced Authorization Codes (Bulk Administration | Forced Authorization Codes | Insert Forced Authorization Codes):

Submitting the job will insert the codes into the database.

How it works...

The Bulk Administration Tool will take the information contained in the CSV file and create the corresponding Forced Authorization Codes.
