Creating a .csv file containing group information

A group .csv file contains the list of groups to be imported into the OpenID Connect namespace. This file must be properly formatted for the import to be successful.

The first row in the group .csv file is the header. This row must contain both the type and defaultName columns. The header row can also contain the following, optional column: tenantID.

Tip: All of the column names are properties of the group class in IBM Cognos Analytics. The names are case sensitive, and must be typed exactly as specified in this document.

All other rows in the file contain values corresponding to the columns specified in the first row.

Here is an example of a .csv file with two groups:

  • Row 1: type,defaultName
  • Row 2: group,Reviewers
  • Row 3: group,Data-Scientists

You can add all your groups to one .csv file, or you can create multiple files with fewer groups in each file.
