Fastest way to set a Lighthouse property on all users

Hi,

I would like to set a property on all user objects, such as

accounts[Lighthouse].properties.registrationDate

I have about 30,000 users. What would be the fastest way to set tis property on all users? Two methods I can think of:

1) Export all users objects, edit them all with a perl/sed/awk script

and then re-import them.

2) Run a workflow to checkout all users in turn, and set the property

on each userview, then check them in.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

John I

Hi John,

I was in a similar situation, where I needed to push attribute changes en masse. The Bulk Action mechanism works very well.

Use the option to supply a CSV file, and on each line indicate the update command, the user to act on, and the path expression whose value you want to set.

So in the example you mentioned, you'd want a CSV file that looks like:

command,user,accounts[Lighthouse].properties.registrationDate

Update,John Doe,theDate

Update,Jane Smith,theDate

Update,Bill Jones,theDate

...

Hope that helps!
