    Hello,
    I need to import a bunch of users from another system. I’ve made the xml file as described in the docs but I’m struggling with usernames.
    On the old site, users used to log in with their e-mail. I was wondering if i can change the EE settings so that they can log in the same way on the new site?

    Certainly you can add a single user with an email name being used as a username. I haven’t tried importing, but it should be OK. Make a backup copy of your database tables before importing.
