How does bulk user management in SafetyCulture differ from EdApp?
Feature | EdApp | SafetyCulture |
|---|---|---|
CSV functionality | It exports and edits users with fields such as name, username, first name, last name, user groups, roles, password, external ID, and custom fields. | It exports user list to add and update users, including user details such as seat types, permission sets, groups, sites, companies, language, timezone and custom user fields. |
Password handling | Passwords for existing users can be updated via CSV. Leaving the password field blank keeps the learner's current password. | Passwords can only be set for new users being added to the organization. Bulk updating existing users’ passwords is not supported. |
Group and site membership | Admins can choose whether CSV updates to user groups and roles will add to current membership or replace them. | CSV data will overwrite existing group and site membership. |
Delimiters | Values in CSV are separated by a semicolon (;). | Values in CSV are separated by a comma (,). |
The critical gap between SafetyCulture and EdApp is how existing assignments are updated via CSV. SafetyCulture overwrites current group and site assignments, while EdApp lets admins choose whether User Group and Role updates should add to or replace current assignments.
