One of the common asks to import multiple users in Office 365 is to be able to create multiple users in most efficient way possible.

Here’s a quick guide to do so using Import multiple users feature in Office 365 Admin Center.

Download Template for Importing Users

1. Let’s say you are in the Admin Center using portal.office.com. Under Users, You’ll find a button to Add Multiple Users
   
2. And the feature let’s you download a template with some sample data in case you’re unsure of what to enter.
   
3. Once downloaded, you’ll get the Excel in your system
   
4. Now, you’ll see some sample data which you can simply delete to add your actual data.
   

   

5. And let’s say, your data looks like this. I’ve added Kuldeep Gupta and Subhash Mahato, 2 users with some info.
   

Import Back into O365

Now, we are set to import this in O365.

1. On the same feature, look for Browser button to import.
   
2. Click Verify to validate the info entered for any errors. Once verified, you can click Next.
   
   
3. On the next step, I’ll assign licenses and proceed by clicking Next.
   
4. Once the processing is done, users will be added
   
5. And you’ll see 2 new users in O365 with the selected licenses
   

Hope this was easy! 🙂
