We are looking at manually running our users SIS import process in batch mode once a year to keep our user's list cleaned up. I began testing this in our test instance using a blank users.csv file to make sure this type of process would not have an adverse impact on our manually created user account. The issue I ran into is doing a batch import requires that you specify a term and as far as I can tell users do not belong to any term so running the users.csv file in batch mode appears to have no effect. What is the proper way to upload a users.csv file in batch mode?

@ianjohnston one approach would be to leverage the provisioning report.
- Run a provisioning report on users.
- Use your users.csv report to compare against the provisioning report, and flush out the students that are not listed in your users.csv report (Excel would be a good tool to use for this).
- Once you have the list of students who no longer exist, make a new uesrs.csv file from that list, and change the user "status" to "deleted"
- Import your "deleted" users.csv file to remove the unwanted records.
