Create a Single User or Bring Users Using an Excel Spread-sheet

Usually a user integration and a single sign-on has been created during the service implementation. This means the user management is done automatically. However, this is not always the case, or users from outside the integration need to be imported, which means they need to be created manually on the Users and groups tab.
