How to import existing users into database Ok this is now a general question as I managed to import the user table to the database.

Unfortunately it appears that whilst the users all show in the database they do not show in the CMS. Digging a bit deeper it seems they are related to the elements table as each appear to have an entry with a type User.

So my question now is how can you import your existing user list into a new craft set up without breaking it or anything else. With over 10000 users this is not one to be done manually.

Any help appreciated.
You can use an existing import/export plugin that supports handling users, or you can write your own plugin that calls Craft's UsersService->saveUser(), which takes care of saving the right data into the right tables in the database.
