The XML import file must conform to a specific hierarchy with the expected elements and attributes in order for the import to succeed. To create a template XML import file, see Creating the XML Import File.
For institutional databases, the default institution number is set in the institution attribute of the root user-group-import element: <user-group-import institution="0">. This setting can be overridden at the individual user level if the institution attribute is included in the user element: <user id="jsmith" institution="1">.
Note:
If the database is not an institutional database, the institution value is ignored.
