[SOLVED] Its possible to import with blank password and without welcome message?
Hi,
I could not figure out how to do that:
import without password and without welcome message?
How to configure the "config.xml" file?
If NO: an e-mail will be sent. (is not wanted)
<generatepassword>no</generatepassword> <!-- Select yes if you want a password to be generated automatically if no password is specified in user-csv-file. Select no if you want an e-mail to be sent to the user instead with a request to enter a password. In this case a correct e-mail address MUST be entered in the user-csv-file. -->
If YES: a password will be generated . (is not wanted)
<generatepassword>no</generatepassword> <!-- Select yes if you want a password to be generated automatically if no password is specified in user-csv-file. Select no if you want an e-mail to be sent to the user instead with a request to enter a password. In this case a correct e-mail address MUST be entered in the user-csv-file. -->
Thanks for answer.
Hello, that is impossible by design. I think even in the Nextcloud API. Reason: somehow the user has to get a password. You can't create an account without password.
What are you trying to achieve? Maybe there is a workaround.
Easiest way that is almost like "no password": just fill your .csv file with dummy-passwords.
I see, solution would be a .csv file with dummy-passwords.
But manually it is possible by design. Under: /settings/users it has a checkbox to disable the mail notification for new created users. And at same time its possible to not set a password, while creating a new user, without the mail notification.
The purpose is, to create users and manually send them an invitation mail and let them set an own password, by password reset.
I think we got a misunderstanding here. My point was that you can not create a user without password and without mail. Re-reading your posts I now understand that you wanted something else and the description in the config.xml might be misleading.
If you uncheck the "send mail to new users" box in the settings in /settings/user this should be respected in the creation via script/api. Could you check that please and report back? I would correct the description then.
[SOLVED] Yes you're right!

If "send mail to new users" is unchecked, it's possible to import via csv even without dummy-password and no Welcome Mail is sent. (it was another test Nextcloud, were I forgot this User setting!)
Added this case to description of config.xml https://github.com/t-markmann/nc-userimporter/commit/dd34d58967d7fba24c2613b92cf35042f442bb77
