It imports accounts from a text file and create local accounts accordingly. The text file defines
some parameters related to the accounts, like passwords, user quotas, groups, etc. Also it can be
used to create user folders in a batch. Below is an example of the text file.
# username, password, group, user quota, user folder, folder quota, create default ACL
user001, aa1aa1, groupA, 1GB, /vol-1/users/user001, 1GB, yes
user002, bb2bb2, groupA, 1GB, /vol-1/users/user002, 1GB, yes
user101, 101101, groupB,10GB, /vol-1/users/user101,10GB, no
