Ok, its clear for me. But do not sure it is good idea to create users directly in DB. You should use C# and DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UsersController. It will be more correct. DotNetNuke users are not single table.

If I were to use that UsersController entity, could I still import all of my users? And do you know where I could find some documentation on how to use that entity? I'm still new to MVC, but understand C# fairly well, which was my reasoning for using C# direct to the DB.

Had to write fully post with example of code about it in the Blog. You can find it here: How To Create User Programmatically in DotNetNuke.

This post describes method on how to create user. How to retrieve it from Excel or XML (whatever you have) should be easy for you.

Awesome, thank you!  From a quick look at the code, it appears the Entity takes care of all the necessary tables needed.

Do you know if there is something similar for YAF.NET users, categories, topics and posts?
