Auto-enrolling users by importing data from a CSV file

Using this option, you can import a CSV file containing users’ enrollment data into ADSelfService Plus and enroll them automatically. This option comes in handy if you already have all the necessary enrollment data stored in a CSV file or in an application that can export data as a CSV file. Before importing the enrollment data, make sure to configure the settings for the respective authenticators.
