How to create a .CSV file to add users to OIDC namespace in IBM Cognos Analytics

How To


Summary

Follow the documentation at https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-analytics/11.2.0?topic=namespaces-creating-csv-file-containing-user-account-information. Notice that all of the column names are properties of the account class in IBM Cognos Analytics. The names are case-sensitive, and must be typed exactly as specified in this document.

If the property 'Unique identifier' in the OIDC namespace is not set to any of the Cognos user profile properties listed in the documentation, use title camIdentity for the first column and values of the unique identifier property of user profiles in the OIDC system.

Characters used in some text editors to separate rows might be not interpreted correctly by the parsers used in Cognos. If the last row does not create a user profile in the namespace, add one or two empty lines at the end of the file.

Test logging as one of the users in the CSV file and make sure an additional user profile isn't created for this user.
