Using the User Profiles Import utility to populate the Enterprise Resource Pool

Overview of Portfolio PMC Control Panel Overview of Resource Management

With User Profile Import in PM Central, you can map and import users and their profiles, in bulk from the SharePoint User Profile Database to the Enterprise Resource Pool (ERP).

When using User Profiles Import keep in mind:

  • You must configure a Search Service application on the SharePoint server for the User Profiles Import utility to successfully search existing user profiles on SharePoint Server 2010. If the User Profiles Import Utility is unable to find users, verify that you are able to find the same users in a Search Center site before contacting Bamboo Support.

  • Information will be copied from the SharePoint User Profile Database
