Do you need to HR or your helpdesk to update Active Directory without giving them access to Active Directory? The helpdesk mode allows you to give a specified user or group permission to update a specified OU or group. For example, ‘HR’ could have permission to update all users job titles and department, your helpdesk could have permission to update mobile and users photos.

Importing users into Active Directory (CSV, Excel)
The import file can be formatted using the CSV (comma separated value) format or Excel XLS and XLSX.
The column headers in your file (CSV,XLS,XLSX) should contain the name of the Active Directory Attribute you want to add the data to. A list of column headers/attributes can be found below. The columns can be in any order and the column headers are not case sensitive but obviously must be spelt correctly for the program to recognize them, if it comes across a column it doesn’t recognize it will ignore that column.
In the example shown below I’m using Excel to construct the file and using wildcards to speed up the creation of the file. The first row (1) contains the column headers, these are the attribute names such as givenName (first name). You don’t need to use all the attributes names just those you need, the minimum required to create a new users are shown below. This example file would create 5 new users.
