Edge Import - New Organizational Unit Load Types (Group)
With this enhancement, Edge Import now provides the ability to import Group organizational unit (OU) metadata as well as user membership details. Both manual loads and automated feeds are supported for these two new load types. This functionality enables organizations to maintain their group data in bulk and migrate from Data Load Wizard (DLW).
The Group Load supports the following functionality:
- Create new groups
- Update existing group metadata, including the following:
- Standard and custom fields
- Group hierarchy
- Localization (Translation load)
The Group Membership Load supports the following functionality:

Considerations
With the legacy Group load in Data Load Wizard, group organization unit data and membership data were managed in a single load type. With Edge Import, this is now managed in two separate load types.
Implementation
This functionality is automatically enabled for all organizations using Edge Import.
Access to this load is controlled by the new permission.
The template guides in Edge Import will contain additional information for the new load types.
Customers who have not purchased Edge Import can initiate purchase of Edge Import from the “Edge Import” tile in Edge Marketplace.
Permissions
The following new permission applies to this functionality:
| PERMISSION NAME | PERMISSION DESCRIPTION | CATEGORY |
| Access Edge Import Workflow - Group | Grants access to the Group organizational unit and Group Membership data load via Edge Import. This permission cannot be constrained. This is an administrator permission. | Edge Import |
Security Roles
Upon release, the new permission is automatically granted to the default System Administrator role. Administrators must grant this permission to other roles, if necessary.
