Bulk Create Users

Does Tulip have any future plans for bulk user creation, perhaps via a CSV file? Migrating users into Tulip will be quite time consuming if everyone has to be added manually.

Hi Michael, thank you for sharing this. Does your organization use an IdP such as Microsoft Entra or Active Directory?

Yes, and we have plans to migrate to SSO, but this will not be completed very soon. This shouldn’t be an issue once we start using SSO, correct?

Correct. You can read more about how to map users into Tulip automatically with SAML here:

In the meantime, are you familiar with our Operator API? Its an endpoint that allows you to create operators in bulk, which is usually the dominant source of users on an instance. Using the Operator API

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the response. I did a quick test using Postman. I was able to create a user, but it appears email cannot be added via the API.

{
    "errorCode": "UserCreationNotAllowed",
    "details": "This endpoint may not create users with emails"
}

Thanks again for the help!

Ah, I see. Yes, we have not added the capability to add operators with emails yet. We are currently investigating making operators more formal parts of our user system, and this is good motivator to improve on that.

Hi Kevin, I used the Bulk Create Interface feature this morning and it created the Interface and Station, but it did not link them together, so I had to manually link each Station and Interface.

Additionally, is there an easy way to obtain many Activation Links quickly? I tried downloading the CSV, but the two links included in the CSV file are not the same as the URL when you click Share Link. I had to manually capture each link for our team.

Overall, I found the process to add many operators (user, interface, and station) very time consuming. Are there any plans to overhaul this process? It should be easier to bulk add these records.

Hi @landers,

If you’re looking to mass create, assign and get a registration link for interfaces, I would recommend taking a look at our Stations API to get all the registration links as well as assign stations.

Sincerely,

Jake
