Importing users in to license group

Surprised I was not able to easily find this. I was successful at exporting and importing my custom groups but I would have expected that when I exported the navigate_view_named_group or navigate_contribute_named_group and tried importing them to my new server, it did not like this. I get that this is an OOTB group and there might be some restrictions around it.  I have hundreds of users I need to populate to these groups so what's the recommended solution?  We certainly aren't expected to manually load all these users in one by one right?

You can create your own group and assign that as member of navigate_view_named_group. Then you can load the users to your group using a loader

 

The other way is to write a custom code which will use License Profile object

I ended up cross checking against my active Windchill users so this reduced the overall counts. Very surprised this is such as issue but I did the population manually. It look 15 mins but would be cleaner if there was an import path since it avoids me making a human error. Having to scan back and forth from the edit group screen to an excel spreadsheet on my other monitor was not fun. At least my install is relatively small. I could not image if I had 1000+ users.  I will leave this open for a few more days if someone can document a solution that does not involve writing your own service.

I ended up manually loading users to the group. After I cleared out dead users to reduced the count, it took 20 mins to load all users in. I am still shocked no one has responded with solution for import process. Not even my VAR found a solution but I know one should exist.

    Thanks for the reply. I had ponder that group within a group might be an option. I saw somewhere about writing your own service but something as basic as this should be OOTB. Thanks for the reply.
