User management in NPrinting is a complex and difficult task. It correlates closely to how you design your reports and how you have set everything up.
In my projects I have single excel spreadsheet which has all users in it. Users and groups are maintained in it as well as user filters. My approach is to create user groups based on tasks which obviously ties back to apps.
Designing NPrinting project is in this case very important as well, as sometimes you need to create dedicated apps and connections in NPrinting to go around an issue of intersecting filters etc.. but that is more of the environment setup and development practices setup.
now to your question (see my red remarks😞
For NP19, seems all users from different applications are added together, and there is no App filter to pull all users from same app, so we cannot delete users by app. (correct. user is a unique entity identified by email address, there is no split as to which user is assigned to which app. This is different to what you used to have in NPrinting 16 and the way of thinking about maintaining users has to be change) Each month, I can get my current user list into NP19 filter/user/group Excel sheet for import. What should I do to add/update/Delete for only my app by check below check box for import task? Or is there any better way to do it? (maintain single list of recipients for all apps to be imported to NPrinting. My approach is always to have groups indicating which users belong to my projects. Groups as you know can be maintained in this import by adding them as comma separated values in group column - groups need to exist in Nprinting or need to be created in the import you execute. In short - with every "import recipient task" you should be importing full list of users. Those how are not belonging to your projects will not be changed, those who you want to delete,add or update will. Depending on preferences some companies have ETL processes automatically creating those lists so they are not affected by human error. still - the best approach is to have single file)
And your other comment:
Also, as internal user, I am user for two reports each from different app. Now I have filter 1, group 1 for app1, how can I add myself filter 2 (maybe same as filter 1) group 2 for app 2? In fact, these two apps are from different departments, we have to handle separately. (In your import task create a separate filter, name it differently, and place it next to your name in filter column as comma separated value. Those apps ideally should be in separate nprinting apps and hence use separate nprinting connection which would be helpful in maintaining user-filter relationship) I tested many times always got warnings: skipped, email in use thing. (In fact, after skip, the group 2 added to Np console, and I can manually assign myself to group 2, but this is not what I need). (question is - how did you try to allocate yourself to the group 2 or filter 2. Your email should be on the user list once, but allocations to groups and filters and roles is done by listing their names in respective fields as comma separated values... I am not sure how you are doing it, but based on errors you are saying, you probably put your email twice on import list which is not allowed)
