On the Choose Workgroup and User Type screen, select the User Type from the list provided, that you will be assigning to the imported logons.

On the Import Logons – Parameters screen, select the correct Security Level from the drop down as well as any Custom Label set and Message board that has been set up for your workgroup.

On the Import Logons – Summary page you will see all the information you have entered as well as a list of logons that will be imported. In the event there already exists a logon in the system that matches one in your import file you will see a notation that a duplicate logon will be created and that if you proceed an “E:” will be appended to the username.
