# How to add users in bulk to the Portal?

If an enterprise needs to add hundreds or more users quickly, manually adding them is not a scalable option. To make this easier for enterprises, CircleHD portal allows adding users in bulk using a CSV file format. This can be done by Admins only. 

 1\. To import multiple users, Bulk Import option is available.

2\. You can click on the "template" link to download the csv format. Once downloaded, create a list of all users in this csv format, by exporting users from your existing employee management system.
