# Retrieve Security Information from a Text File

To import user and group information from a text file, you can:

- use the `Import` action:

      /action=import&FileName=textfile.txt

- configure a task using the `ogs_text` library:

  - to replace all the information in the OmniGroupServer repository with the information in the text file, set `GroupServerIncremental=False`. In this case, you should also set the `TextFile` parameter, to specify the path of the file that contains the information:

        [Text]
        GroupServerLibrary=ogs_text
        GroupServerIncremental=false
        TextFile=C:\Autonomy\OmniGroupServer\TextDir\mydata.txt

  - to configure incremental updates from text files, set `GroupServerIncremental=True`. In this case, do not set the `TextFile` parameter. Instead, set the `TextDirectory` parameter to the path of the directory that contains the text files:

        [Text]
        GroupServerLibrary=ogs_text
        GroupServerIncremental=TRUE
        TextDirectory=C:\Autonomy\OmniGroupServer\TextDir

    Each text file written to the directory must have a file name in the format `<RepostoryName>_<Index>`, where

    `<RepositoryName>` | is the name of the repository.
    `<Index>` | is a number that counts up from 0, and specifies the order of the updates. For example, the changes listed in `Text_0` are processed first, and then the changes in `Text_1`, and so on. OmniGroupServer stores the index of the last processed file in a file named `<RepositoryName>_LastProcessed`.

Whether you use the `import` action or set up a task in the OmniGroupServer configuration file, the text files must be constructed as described in Construct the Text File
