• Select the appropriate roles and then click on Export Users button to export the users of specific groups/roles which you want to export.


• This feature allows you to export specific information of users according to the columns written in the text box. You can use this field to set which columns must be exported and in which order. If you leave it empty, all columns will be exported. Use a list of fields separated by semicolon(;), for example: name;username;email.

3. Import Users / Groups

• If you want to allow only a specific role/group of users to import into Joomla, then enable the below checkbox and select appropriate Role.

4. Cron Import

• This feature imports users from the google sheet you provided periodically. To use this feature you need to do following configuration:
• Enable Active periodical import
• There is also a much easier, but less clean solution, if you don't want to bother with the API or Google Authentication.
1. Go to your Spreadsheet in Google Drive.
2. Go to File -> Publish to the Web
3. In the Publish to the web dialog you can get a .csv Link to your spreadsheet.



• Select the appropriate period from dropdown.
• Enable the checkbox if you want to send email to users which are being updated.
• Then click the Save Cron Options button.

• Congratulations, you have successfully configured the Joomla Import/Export plugin.
