Refreshing a directory from a CSV file

Roles and permissions

The following roles can update the directory of company employees for an access review:

  • Administrators with manager permissions for the access review

  • Compliance managers with manager permissions for the access review

  • Users with manager permissions for the access review

To refresh a directory for an access review, create an updated CSV file and import it into the directory you want to update. You should only modify your employee list when the access review status is In setup. Keep in mind that this process deletes the existing employee information, and then adds the new employee information. For more status information see, Setting access review status.

Note

If you created the directory using a Hypersync, you can't refresh the directory by importing a CSV file. You can either delete the directory and create a new one from a CSV file or sync the Hypersync. For more information on syncing, see Refreshing a directory using a Hypersync.

Note

If you have configured one or more application user lists to assign direct managers as reviewers, updating the direct managers by refreshing the directory doesn't modify previously assigned reviewers. See Using direct managers as reviewers for user access for more information.
