As soon as the import is completed, your users will be automatically added to the account. 

Emails already stored in Quatrix won't be imported. If the format is not corresponding, the import won't be allowed until it is corrected.


SFTP can't be adjusted while importing. It can be adjusted while editing one or multiple users


A CSV file would be rejected if it contains more records than available licenses.
