Importing Users in D365 Operations Using Excel

On his Yet Another Dynamics AX Blog, Tommy Skaue explained how you can easily connect to your Dynamics 365 Operations instance using Excel.

However, he pointed out that while it's probably easier and faster to import users from Azure Active Directory, he wanted to show that it's also possible to import users using Excel with the Dynamics Office add-in.

You may have seen the data entity "System User" (SystemUserEntity), and you may have tried using it to add users with it, and furthermore you may also have seen the error "A row created in data set SystemUser was not published. Error message: Write failed for table row of type ‘SystemUserEntity.' Infolog: Error: Error in getting SID."

Skaue wrote that you'll get the same error through Excel if you don't provide some additional columns and information while you're trying to create a user through that data entity.
