Import utility for Security

Question

Hi All,
I need to perform an equivalent of the Essbase MaxL statement "alter user UserX remove from group GroupX" through the import utility in Shared Services, since the Essbase security is externalized to Shared Services.
Can anyone help me on the above.
Thanks in advance,
Raja

Hi,
If you use the CSSimportexport utility, update the importexport.properties file with your environment details.
Set it up to read in .csv
In the csv enter the users you want to remove from groups e.g.
#group_children                    
id     group_id     group_provider     user_id     user_provider
EssGroup               testuser     Native Directory
so the id field has the group name, the user_id has the user name you want to remove from the group
In the importexport.properties file make sure you have the following.
# The import operation to perform.
# Options are: CREATE, UPDATE, CREATE/UPDATE and DELETE
import.operation=delete
Cheers
