i wanted to ask. is there any way of importing users into the system from an xml file or from a csv file.we want to be able to load preexisting data from another source into the system. so basically i am looking for a way to load patrons into the system from an external source and possibly also in a way which would allow them to have some roles automatically attached to them if possible. and also cna i have the username and password for the postgre data of the vmware debian image ? i wanted to have a look at the database structure or if you possibly have the er diagram already availabe. can i have it .its for the evergreen version on the debian system
