Creating Community Portal accounts in a batch

You can create many Community Portal accounts at once by using batch files.

To create several Community Portal accounts:

1. Create a text file where each line holds a Community ID and password separated by a comma. For example:
   23, p4ssw0rd01
   24, apple123
   78, qwertyuiop5
2. If a community member should have a joint portal account, add a join flag (J) to the line containing their ID. For example:
   23, p4ssw0rd01
   24, apple123, J
   78, qwertyuiop5
3. Clarification: Adding the J (join flag) after (e.g.ID:) 24, apple123, J means that ID: 24's spouse/partner would share the same password.
4. In Synergetic select Module >Community Maintenance.
   The Constits tab of the Community Maintenance window is displayed.
5. Select the Other tab.
   The Other tab of the Community Maintenance window is displayed.
   
6. Click .
   The Open File window is displayed.
7. Select the text file you created.
8. Click.
   The passwords are encrypted into the database.
   
   Note: For security reasons it is recommended you delete the text file after completing these steps and notifying the community members of their new passwords.
