# Import

Imports data into an existing repository.

You can import data in text format, either created manually or by the Export action. You cannot import data that was exported in XML format.

## Example

To import `c:\NT\datastore.txt` into the NT repository and overwrite any information currently in the NT repository:

    http://localhost:3057/action=Import
                                   &repository=NT
                                   &filename=c:\NT\datastore.txt

To add user `DOMAIN\JSMITH` to group `DOMAIN\USERS`:

    http://localhost:3057/action=Import
                                   &repository=NT
                                   &filedata=%23USER%20DOMAIN%5CJSMITH%0A%23MEMBEROF%20DOMAIN%5CUSERS
