Any way to batch import team member with roles?

It is crazy to import the team member and setup his role if each project has more than 20 person and 3 projects at the same time...

Any one can help to provide the ways batch import team member and his role?

In the Web UI, a bunch of users can be added to a project area or team
area at the same time. But the roles need to be assigned one user at a
time, which gets very tedious when adding lots of users.

In the Eclipse client, you can assign a set of roles to a bunch of users
when adding those users as a bunch. You select the roles only once for
the entire batch rather than having to assign roles individually. But
that is only helpful if most of the users have the same set of roles.

There is a way to add a bunch of users with specific roles through the
REST API. If you are comfortable using that, see
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DraftTeamProcessRestApi#POST_members_collection
for a description of the API.

If you don't have experience programming against REST APIs, then using
the Eclipse client is probably your best bet, though it is far from ideal.

Thanks David. I think the REST API is useful. We will deploy it later, may need more of your help. Thanks!
