# Managing LDIF Files

You can use the Bulk Operation Tool to import and export LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) files.

## Import LDIF Files

The Import from File option on the Tools menu in the Bulk User Provisioning tab allows you to add users to the MiCollab system by importing an LDIF file. During the import, all users are processed serially. As in the synchronization process, the system attempts to pair the users if they are present in both MiCollab and the LDIF file. The system provides a progress bar and a summary of errors. If errors detected, you can edit the errors to correct them. See Import from LDIF File for instructions.

## Export LDIF Files

The Export from File option on the Tools menu in the Bulk User Provisioning tab allows you to generate and export an archive file. This archive file contains the following files in LDIF format:

- IDS managed users with the domain information

- IDS managed users without the domain information, and

- Non-IDS managed user records.
