Import multiple members into a community
We can add multiple members to the community at the same time using the import tool on the Members page. You must be a community owner to import members into a community.
We can only import community members when email is configured to be displayed for the deployment. If wer administrator has configured email to be hidden, then the Import Members button does not display in the user interface.
Verify with the administrator the community has not reached the maximum number of members that can be added.
To import members into a community.
- Open the Members page of the community to import the members.
- Click Import Members.
- Ensure that Add people to the community as is selected.

Important: The email address format must match the format of the profile records in the LDAP directory or Profiles database. If we use an invalid email address, that is, one that does not match the format used in the profile records, an error is displayed in the user interface.
