Use the extension

There are two ways of using this extension:
Bulk import your existing database users into Auth0
Search for and export some (or all) of your Auth0 database users
Both use cases are explained in further detail below.
Import users
By default, any time you open the extension, you'll see the User Import screen (if you're on the export screen, you can return to this screen by click Import in the left-hand navigation bar).
To import your users, drag and drop a valid JSON file (schema and examples here) onto the area that says Drop your file here, or click to select. Alternatively, you can click on this area to browse your files and select the appropriate JSON file. The JSON file should contain the list of users that you are planning to import.
Select the database connection for which your users will be imported. Please make sure that the connection you choose has been enabled for at least one application.
Click Start Importing Users to begin the import process.
When done, you'll see the following Completed message.
Once you've imported your users, you can manage them individually using Auth0 Dashboard > User Management > Users.
Export users
Auth0 uses the ndjson format due to the large size of export files. Before you can import users, you'll need to convert from ndjson to json using the library of your choice (such as jq). When exporting users intended to later be imported, user field names should be left as their defaults and not mapped to a Column Name.
To export your existing Auth0 users associated with database connections, select Export.
Under User Fields, you can decide which user attributes or expressions should be included in the export. The user attribute can be a static value like user.user_metadata.name, or it can be a JavaScript expression like user.user_metadata.name || user.name. Expressions will be evaluated during the export runtime. The column name value is how the value will be represented in the export.
You can click the Add Default Fields button to automatically select the default fields and populate their column names (this is also a good way for you to visualize how parameters/expressions will appear).
You can remove extraneous attributes/expressions by clicking on its associated trash can icon.
Under Settings, you can:
Configure how your exported users are listed by providing a User Attribute by which users should be sorted (as well as whether the users should be sorted in ascending or descending order)
Choose your Export Format; you can choose between JSON and CSV files
When you're ready, click Export X Users (where X is the number of users you're exporting).
You can download the file containing your users when the export is complete.
