It is now possible to do everything that is possible via snapshot using the GUI DI instead. Below is an example to do what you wish to achieve
Step One - creating an Integration (this only needs to be done once and has already been done)
Go to Sys Admin, Data Integration, Student Information System Integrations
Click Create integration, snapshot flat file
give it a name (we used “1 Roles”), set status to active and DSK to System (if you are doing this properly you want to make a new DSK - probably call it Roles and set it to that, but System will work)
Step 2 - create a feed file
We need to know the courses to be removed and we make a spreadsheet with the following headings
external_person_key, role_id, row_status
We save this as a CSV
Step 3 upload feed file
Click on the dropdown for our Integration and select “upload feed file”
Browse for and attach feed file
Select "User Secondary Institution Role" from the dropdown
Set operation type to “Store”
Click submit
You should make sure that you never set the operation type to complete refresh!

Season’s greetings!
Is anyone aware of a building block that would allow a System Admin to batch add (append) Institutional roles to existing users, ideally via spreadsheet?
The only way I can see to add institutional roles at present is By User individually (via the system admin panel) or to have it incorporated in the feeds.
Many thanks,
Tim
