Import accounts

Step 3 - Import preview:
Review the correct mapping of the selected data fields and complete the process by clicking the "Import" button.

Block or delete accounts

To block an account, navigate to the account list and select the corresponding account. Then, in the action menu (···), click "Block" or "Delete." The status of the account is displayed in the list entry:

  • Active: The account has access to Oniva.

Automatic blocking:

If Oniva has an interface to an account database (e.g., Active Directory), inactive accounts will be automatically blocked with regular data imports.
