How To
Summary
As part of the new Authorization Service, the Maximo Application Suite (MAS) user import feature has been seamlessly integrated with the MANAGE import functionality in 9.1. Previously, importing multiple users in MAS required navigating to a separate UI screen to complete additional configuration for those users. With this integration, you now have a single source of truth that effectively communicates with both MANAGE and MAS. This streamlined approach simplifies the user import process, reduces redundant steps, and ensures a more cohesive experience across platforms. The purpose of this documentation is to describe the steps to import new users and highlight the changes between the deprecated CSV fields and the new ones, ensuring a smooth transition to the updated system.
Steps
- In MAS 9.1, for one particular user, there are distinct rows which represent: contact information, different authentication types and different security groups;
- Security groups are optional. If they are not added to csv file, Maximo will add the user automatically to DEFLTREG and EVERYONE groups by default;
- The object MASUSERIDP was included with new columns regarding authentication method;
- Custom attributes need to be added to the template;
- There are deprecated csv fields and new ones, as mentioned in the table below:
| Description | Deprecated field from 9.0 | New field |
| Unique user identifier | id | USERID |
| Username (login credential) | username | LOGINID |
| Display name | displayName | DISPLAYNAME |
| First name | givenName | FIRSTNAME |
| Last name (surname) | familyName | LASTNAME |
| Title (e.g., Mr., Ms.) | title | TITLE |

For local users, identifies that the user account is local within the system. For external users, identifies the IdP authentication type. Enter one of the following values: local, ldap, saml, or oidc. | For local user, the field is equivalent to local_user= True | IDPTYPE |
For local users, the login ID for the local user. For external users, links the user’s login credentials of the identity provider with their system identity: | - For local, username - identities_saml - identities_ldap - Not applicable for OIDC | IDPLOGINID |
Automatically generate passwords for new users. Enter one of the following values:
