Configuring MSP users

The managed services provider (MSP) helps a company manage various human capital functions such as overseeing the contingent talent life cycle from requisition through invoicing and payment.

As a Beeline Professional administrator, you can create a template and use the Import Data tool to set up MSP users in a tenant.

For smaller scale scenarios with only a few users to add, you can add MSP users manually.

Before you begin

  • You must have administrator access to the tenant site you’re setting up.

  • Identify which users must manage MSP-related tasks in Beeline Professional.

Configuring MSP users using a template

To import multiple MSP users, complete these steps from any supported browser.

  1. Log in to the Professional site you’re setting up.

  2. From the left navigation, go to Home and select Import Data.

  3. Create a template that you can use with the Import Data tool:

    1. From the Data object field, select User.

    2. To download a template, select Import Templates  Select a template, select the default user template and select Download.

    3. Open the template file in Microsoft Excel ©. These columns are required for the template:

      • First Name

      • Last Name

      • Email

      • User Type. Enter TENANT_USER as the user type.

    4. To populate the template, add each user as a separate entry, for example, one row for each user that you want to add.

    5. Save the populated template with a different file name.

  4. Go to the Import Data form and in the Note field, enter a description of your import to help you find it faster in the import monitoring logs.

  5. Select Continue and upload the populated user template.

  6. Follow the instructions in the Bulk add USERS page to confirm the column headers row and mapping of the fields.

  7. Optional: To review any potential errors, turn on the Only show rows with problems toggle in the review section. If errors exist, you can hover over each error to view advice on resolving it. After you resolve the errors, select Continue.

After you submit the template, a message confirms you’ve submitted it successfully. The message doesn’t mean the data was successfully loaded in Professional. Select Settings  Monitoring  Import Logs to determine whether your import was processed successfully.
