From the Express User Administration page, administrators control what Express Users can access in Express View by assigning groups and roles to end-users. Groups are created in [Express Group Administration](/v1/docs/express-group-administration), and roles are created in [Express Role Administration](/v1/docs/express-role-administration). > [!NOTE] > To set up and assign user roles for the Module Builder and Unqork Platform, view our [Creator (User) Administration](/v1/docs/creator-user-administration) and [Creator Role Administration](/v1/docs/creator-role-administration) articles. ## Navigating the Express User Administration Page [![A static image displaying the Express User Administration Page.

At a minimum, your spreadsheet must have the following column headers: - **name** - **email** > [!WARNING] > The email address cannot be more than 64 characters. Consecutive periods, quotes, and special characters, like `"(),:;<>@[]\,` are not supported. Unqork also supports the following optional column headers, spelled in camelCase as shown: - **userId** > [!TIP] > Omit the **userId** column from the CSV file if you plan to use random User IDs assigned by Unqork. You can't have assigned and randomly-assigned users in the same CSV file. - **password** - **phone** - **roles** - **expressRoles**: Specify multiple roles by comma-separating them. For example, Administrator,Authenticated. - **applicationRoles**: To specify Application Roles, use this format: :. To specify multiple Application Roles, use a comma-separated list. - **groups**: Specify multiple groups by comma-separating them. > [!TIP] > If no groups are specified in the CSV file, omit the **groups** column from the file. Here's an example of how the column headers might look: [![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/Administration_UserAdmin_Add_06_thumb_0_0.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T17%3A57%3A44Z&se=2026-11-07T18%3A57%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eoQ7fISEOx1FerarxnnLTLDFgqDZU0AI%2FpJYlZ%2BuxJw%3D)](https://cdn.us.document360.io/15548f06-2fba-434c-b0c1-5df88317dbd7/Images/Documentation/Administration%20UserAdmin%20Add%2006.jpg?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T17%3A57%3A44Z&se=2026-11-07T18%3A57%3A44Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=eoQ7fISEOx1FerarxnnLTLDFgqDZU0AI%2FpJYlZ%2BuxJw%3D) To add Express Users in bulk: 1.

End-users, also known as Express Users, are the individuals accessing an application through Express View. In most cases, end-users are the customers using the product. An array is a type of object that stores one or more data types. Data types supported in arrays include numbers, strings, and objects. A string is an object that represents a sequence of characters.
