Once the new users are listed, they can be imported to SAPM by executing the following steps:

1. Select the user to be imported to** SAPM** and click the **Import to SAPM **button. A pop-up window will appear.
2. Fill in the configuration, password change period, and the password. If the password is not known, the user can be added by a superuser.

In addition to the method outlined above, new users can be imported to SAPM by a superuser (for Linux the super user is root, for Windows it is Administrator). This superuser logs in to the target system and changes the new users’ passwords and stores them in the SAPM configuration. 

To configure password changes by superusers:

1. Navigate to **SAPM Management **> **SAPM Management**.
2. Open the **Configuration** tab.
3. Click search and find the related configuration for the target system device.
4. Click the Options menu for the related configuration and select **Show Properties**.
5. Enter the following properties:                                                                                                              **change.password.with.super.user** = true
   **super.username** = (enter the super username)
   **super.password **= (enter the super username password. If the superuser is already configured as a SAPM account, the superpassword is not needed)
   **change.password.command.template** = (this is specific to the element type, the example illustrated below applies to Linux) passwd $\{username}\n$\{newPassword}\n$\{newPassword}\nlogout

This configuration allows all SAPM passwords for the related SAPM configuration to be changed by the superuser.
