IIs it possible to create external users for BC online in bulk?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee
Hi Everyone, 
 
If a customer has 6,500 external users, is there a way to assign/create them as external users in BC online using some type of bulk process as opposed to:
  • logging into the admin centre to create each user and
  • going through the process to invite an external user,
  • then pulling them into BC
It's known that with BC OnPrem, it's possible to create a user with NavUserPassword authentication and mark them as License Type = External, but that's not possible in the cloud...or is it?
 
Thank you in advance.
