time. It imports accounts from a text file and create local accounts accordingly. The text file

# username, password, group, user quota, user folder, folder quota, create default ACL
user001, aa1aa1, groupA, 1GB, /vol-1/users/user001, 1GB, yes
user002, bb2bb2, groupA, 1GB, /vol-1/users/user002, 1GB, yes
user101, 101101, groupB, 10GB, /vol-1/users/user101,10GB, no
