Import Technicians from a file

Master Administrators can import technicians "in bulk" by uploading a CSV or JSON file.

Before you begin:
Note: During the below procedure, you will be required define a password for each technician that you import. As a best practice, before you perform the import, we recommend that you enable a setting that will require the technician to change this initial password when they first log in. To do so, make sure the Admin password changes force user to change password at next logon option is selected under the Password policies section of the Global Settings tab in the LogMeIn Rescue Administration Center.
  1. Log in to your LogMeIn Rescue account. On the My Account page, click Import technicians.
    Note: For detailed information about requirements related to the CSV or JSON files, you can download example files from the Import technicians page.
    To change the delimiter used in the example file, follow the below instructions.
    • Windows
    • Mac
  2. Select the Technician Group to which you want to import technicians by starting to type the name of the group in the Search technician group... field.
    Fastpath: If the uploaded file contains valid Technician Group IDs for each line, you may leave this field empty.
  3. Click Upload file to choose the CSV or JSON file from your source.
  4. Click Start import.

    Result: Import starts. When the process ends, the Import Summary is displayed listing all the successful or failed import items.

What to do next:
Note: The CSV or JSON file must meet the following requirements.
  • All column headers are required and MUST remain in their original order in the file.
  • The following fields are required and each row must contain data as part of the import:
    • Name
    • Email address
    • Password
    • (technician is) Enabled
    • (has) Standard License
    • (has) Mobile License
  • If you set all users to be imported into the same Technician Group (by selecting a global group), you can leave the Tech Group ID column blank.
    Remember: The column header must remain in the original order.
  • If you select a global Tech Group, Tech Group IDs in the file will be ignored during the import.
  • Each import file is limited to a maximum of 500 users.
