Hi Christian,
Again – you should be able to create these users on the website side.
To create the user you simply need to pass user information into AG – via the daily import (we are not able to add an imported user).
Then you would need to create the user on the website – go into the User Manager and click “Add new User” or register the user on the site using the normal registration method.
The way we did this on beta was to create a web user and link them up to an already created imported account – in doing so, this breaks the link or cancels the possibility of that imported user to ever be linked to their correct web account. Doing this on live would risk breaking someone’s linked account.
The best way to do this would be to pass in a test user via the daily import to AG, once that imported data is in the system, then create and link that account to the web account that you had created.
Let me know if you have questions or concerns in doing this at all.
Thank you,

Hi, Pat,
Orfa tells me that you have a test user in production on NEST. Could we make that test user an admitted student? Also, can I get the relevant information for that test user so that I can send it to James Tower to have them create an identical user in Admissions Genie? Does this make sense? Orfa would like to test in production before we let James Tower refresh our beta site, which they are itching to do.
Yours,
Christian
