Hi James,

The import process is basically adding new users from the back-end, an action performed by admin. This is why the restrictions do not apply like on the front-end.

Thanks Raymond.

I would consider modifying this process, or adding a notation of this because we have passed a lot of users through with illegal names unknowingly.

Thank you,
James

Hey James,

Site admins should be able to add users without restrictions. We will add notes about this in the back-end/documentation.

Thanks Raymond, but I don't agree with this concept.

My thought is that you have systems in place to prevent things, and this should apply to everyone. If the check that is being done against the user is too strong/restrictive then it needs to be adjusted.

We are also talking about adding users in bulk, with little/no pre-filtering done because EasySocial has a solution for it, but is being bypassed. You've been on our site, so you see how many users we have, all of them with exception of our core team have been brought in with this manual process.

Hey James,

When it comes to user data from an external source, it is best for the system to interfere less and let the site admins do the filtering themselves either before or after the process. Maybe some of those users are legit old users which the admins do not want to exclude, but instead modify the restricted value accordingly later.
