Adding Appdome Users From CSV

Last updated November 7, 2023 by Appdome

This Knowledge Base article provides an overview of how to add new members to an Appdome team from a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file. With this method, you can quickly create teams or invite new members with the right roles and entitlements, instead of assigning them manually.

About Adding Team Members From CSV

Appdome is a mobile cyber defense automation platform for mobile apps. Using a simple ‘click to add’ user interface, Appdome allows anyone to easily build protections into any Android or iOS app – instantly, no code or coding required.

Using Appdome, there are no development or coding prerequisites. For example, there is no Appdome SDK, libraries, or plug-ins to implement. The Appdome technology adds features and relevant standards, frameworks and more to the app automatically, with no manual development work at all.

As an organization, you may have multiple people working on a project as a team. These users often need roles and entitlement structures to ensure that the team members capabilities and responsibilities are clearly defined and work is done efficiently. Appdome allows organizations to create Teams within the Appdome workflow and establish Team-member Entitlements to limit each teammate to a specific task within the Appdome workflow.

Entitlements are specific “right to use” rules established within Teams to assign tasks to individual users. Entitlements on Appdome can be assigned to one or more teammates for each step in the workflow. Adding new members from a CSV lets you easily and automatically assign the appropriate roles and entitlements to all users, instead of assigning them manually. To learn more about entitlements, see How to Set User Entitlements in Mobile App Security Projects.

How to Add Team Members From a CSV File

Follow these step-by-step instructions to collaborate using Appdome for Teams:

Create a CSV

To add users to a team from a CSV file, you must first create a CSV file in the correct format. The CSV file will contain the following types of values for each user:

  1. Email: The email address of the new team member.
  2. Role: The role the new team member is supposed to receive. Appdome for Teams offers two different roles. A “Member” is part of the team but cannot edit or change the team itself. A “Leader” can edit the team name and description, add or remove members and enable or disable entitlements (see below) of other team members.
  3. Entitlements: Appdome for Teams currently offers the following entitlements:
      • BUILD_SECURITY: Using the Security tab
      • BUILD_ACCESS: Using the Access tab
      • BUILD_AUTHENTICATION: Using the Authentication tab
      • BUILD_IDENTITY: Using the Identity tab
      • BUILD_MANAGEMENT: Using the Management tab
      • BUILD_MOBILE_THREATS: Using the Mobile Threat tab
      • UPLOAD: Uploading an app
      • BUILD: Enabling workflow actions by clicking on the Build button on UI or Make a Build API request
      • CONTEXT: Adding Context to an app
      • SIGN: Signing an app
      • DEPLOY: Deploying an app
      • DELETE: Deleting an app
      • BUILD_ANTI_FRAUD: Using the Anti-Fraud tab
      • EDIT_FUSION_SETS: Editing a Fusion Set
      • RELEASE_FUSION_SETS_INTO – Entitlement to release a Fusion Set to another team
      • COPY_FUSED_BUILDS_INTO: Copying builds from one team to another
      • FREEZE_UNFREEZE_APPDOME_VERSION: Using the Fusion Set Summary screen to freeze and unfreeze the Appdome version
      • ACCEPT_FUSION_SETS: Approve Fusion Sets received from another team by using the option to release security templates between teams.
      • View Certified Secure – Access to download a certificate from the team to which the user belongs.
      • ACCORDION_ANNOTATION: Add an edit annotation to each command section (accordion); for example, OS Integrity.
      • DUPLICATE_TEAM – A “super-user” entitlement to duplicate an existing team with all its configurations (e.g. members and Fusion sets)
      • View ThreatScope – Access to view ThreatScope data for the team to which the user belongs.
      • DOWNLOAD_FILES_FROM_FUSION_SETS: Entitlement to download Fusion Set files.
      • FUSION_SETS_VERSIONING: entitlement to create multiple fusion sets
    • add users from csv

In the CSV file, each row corresponds to a new member and each member should have all the types of values explained above. The data in each row in the CSV should be structured as follows:

For your CSV to be in the right format, ensure that the following conditions are met:

  1. Email, role, and entitlements are in separated columns
  2. Leader and Member are written in like this, with the first letter upper-cased
  3. Entitlements are written like in the list above, all uppercase and underscore separating the words
  4. Entitlements are separated by a pipe (“|”)
