Find your License Dashboard

The first step in most deployment methods is heading to your license dashboard. You can find it in the Kami app by selecting your initials; it will be in the drop-down menu.

Once you are at your license dashboard, make sure to select  on the license for which you are an administrator and you wish to upload a CSV.

​

Click on the tab Add Users

After clicking the Manage License button, you should see your license details. Click the Add Users tab to switch to the deployment section.

Adding a user with an email

In the Add User to License section, add the user's email, and it should send them an invite to join the license.
​

Using CSV file upload


​Your CSV file can be made in either Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, and they function similarly.
​
Follow these steps to create a CSV file:

  • Make a copy of the file you are about to use, and use that copy to create a CSV file.

  • Remove all other columns and data aside from the emails.

  • Make sure the first row only says “Email.”

  • Export/Download your CSV file:

    • For Google Sheets: Click File from the Menu Bar, select Download from the dropdown menu, and then select Comma-separated values (.csv).

    • For Microsoft Excel: Click File from the Menu Bar, select Export from the dropdown menu, and select Download as CSV.

  • You now have a CSV file copy of the user emails you can use.

✏️ Make sure when uploading the file you have a header row that says “Email” with all the emails you need to add listed under this header. If you get stuck, we have a handy example that can be downloaded on the license page.

When uploading your CSV file, choose the file you just downloaded/saved from Sheets or Excel and then select Add Users.


​

Once you do this, just wait for the file to be uploaded. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. After the upload completes, all the users in the CSV file will be added to the license.
​

Things to note:

  • Adding users through this method will send an invitation to those users for them to accept. This means the user will not be able to use premium features until they accept the license invite. Learn more about our License Invite System here

  • When uploading a CSV file that contains a large number of users, it will take a few minutes (about 1-3 minutes) before all users are reflected in the license. Make sure to refresh and check afterward to be sure all users have been successfully added.
