Add Multiple Users at once

To add multiple users at once, "Bulk import user accounts" feature is helpful.

From "User Lists" go to "Bulk import user accounts".

Of "How to import a lot of user accounts at the same time" on the right of the page, click "Template" to download the CSV template file.

Fill out and upload the CSV file.

Please check the contents of the CSV file and click the "Add all selected users" button to add multiple users.

The users will be added and each user will receive the email to instruct how to log in Backlog with their passwords.

Adding multiple users from Active Directory

By referring to the Active Directory information, add multiple users at once. To refer to the Active Directory information, please set the DNS setting (SRV resource record for Active Directory) first so that the Backlog server can find the Active Directory server.

Please go to User List > Add multiple users from Active Directory.

Enter the required information to connect the Active Directory and search user query, press "Search" button. Check the boxes next to the users you want to add, then click the "Next" button.

Enter the user role in Backlog (mandatory), assign them to a group and project , and click the "register" button. If you're trying to add a Backlog user with the same ID as an Active Directory user you are trying to add, please enter a different user ID.

Now the users will be added to Backlog.

Please note that no emails about login information will be sent to users if you add multple users from Active Directory. Administrators need to inform users if necessary.

Edit User

To change the user information, click the user ID of the specific user in "User Lists". Make changes to the user information and press "Submit".

To change the password, go to "Password". Enter the new password and press "Submit" to change the password.

Administrators cannot change the User ID, email address, and the user icon of users who have chosen to use their Nulab Account information on Backlog.

Delete User

To remove user from the Space, click "X" (delete icon) on the "User Lists" page. A window, "Are you sure you want to delete "user"? You cannot undo this action." will pop up.

Backlog sends emails to project members when there are updates to the project such as when new issues or comments are added.

Email Settings consist of:

• overall settings

On this page, we will explain overall settings.
