Importing Users

Importing Users is for the Admin to assign temporary passwords for these accounts so the user may gain access to the login from the front side to view their Donor dashboard. Before you can import Users, you will need to have the CRM records created first.


Note: Any bold fields you see below are required for the import to run correctly!


Once the CRM records for these users have been imported to SiteStacker, the Admin should:

  • Click the 'Import' component.
  • Click the 'Documentation' tab.
  • Scroll down to check the 'User' checkbox.
  • Click 'Download Selected' found on the upper right side of the window. 

Reminder: The User is somebody who will be able to log in to your SiteStacker installation, and they will use their Email Address and the Password you generate for them to do so.
