[p4] Import users from CSV

[Michael Mirman]

Can I do a p4 user command to create a new user and add all the information?

You need two commands:
"p4 user" will create a user, and then you have to run "p4 passwd" for that user to create the password.

You can run something simple like
(echo foo12345; echo foo12345) | p4 passwd <some-userid>

If your default authentication method is ldap (not perforce), then you don’t have to run "p4 passwd" for new users as long as the users are in AD.

Basically what I need to do is to create users through a script. I looked at the
python module but didn't really understand how to create new users and set
all the information (password, name, email). The best would be to do it either
in bash or python so I can use postfix to email the users the login in password.

not sure if that's still allowed with security=0

It is allowed. Just tested. :-)

For security=3, you get a nice message
Passwords can only be set by 'p4 passwd' at this security level.

I think this falls under one of the security levels, which disallows cleartext passwords. I don’t remember which level that is though.

Once upon a time you could set the password right in the user form -- I'm
not sure if that's still allowed with security=0 or if it's completely
p4 --field User=USERNAME --field Email=EMAIL --field Password=PASSWORD
| p4 user -if
Otherwise, leave off the Password part and use a separate "p4 passwd"
command like Michael said.
