Wave gives you three ways to add multiple users at once. Go to **Users** and click **Add users** to choose a method.

## Import from File

Upload a CSV or Excel file to create users in bulk. This is the most common method for a one-time import.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the template">
    In the import assistant, download the **Excel** or **CSV** template. Use this file — do not create your own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in your users">
    Each row is one user. Only **first name, last name, and account email** are required. All other fields are optional.

    * Do not add or remove any columns
    * Include the country code for all phone numbers (e.g. +1, +44)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the file">
    Drag and drop your completed file, or click **Select file**. Wave processes it and shows you a preview.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and fix errors">
    Check the preview table for any highlighted errors. You can edit fields directly in the table before confirming.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Click **Import**. Each user receives an email invitation to activate their Wave profile.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Import from Google or Microsoft

If your organization uses Google Workspace or Microsoft, you can import users directly from your directory. Wave reads basic profile information only — it does not access emails, files, or any other data.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select your directory">
    In the import assistant, choose **Import from Google** or **Import from Microsoft**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your directory">
    Authenticate with your Google or Microsoft account to authorize the connection. You can remove access at any time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review users">
    Wave imports your directory users and shows them in a preview table. Review and make any edits before confirming.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Click **Import**. Each user receives an email invitation to activate their Wave profile.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  If your Google Workspace or Microsoft integration is already connected, Wave uses the existing connection automatically.

## User Provisioning (SCIM)

<Info>
  Available on the **Enterprise** plan.
</Info>

SCIM provisioning automates user lifecycle management through your identity provider. When you add or remove users in your IdP, Wave accounts are created or deactivated automatically — no manual import needed.

See [Directory Sync (SCIM)](/security/scim) to set it up.
