- Last Name – User's last name
- Email – User's email address (must be in lowercase)
- Job Title – User's job title (optional)
Ensure that email addresses are in lowercase to prevent import errors.

- Assign Roles and Groups Wisely: Plan your user roles and groups ahead of time to streamline the import process.
