Hi there,
i’ve exported users from my blog into a csv. Trying to import on discourse through a rake script i’m getting the following error:
```plaintext
NoMethodError: undefined method `bio_raw_will_change!' for nil:NilClass
/var/www/discourse/lib/promotion.rb:57:in `change_trust_level!'
/var/www/discourse/app/models/user.rb:757:in `change_trust_level!'

/var/www/discourse/app/services/trust_level_granter.rb:8:in `grant'
/var/www/discourse/app/models/group_user.rb:73:in `grant_trust_level'
```
Here is the script:

What is the content of the CSV? Are you importing more than just emails and groups? [Sending bulk user invites](https://meta.discourse.org/t/sending-bulk-user-invites/16468) might work if you’re simply trying to get users onto the site and into certain groups.

Hey @jomaxro, these are the columns:
```plaintext
email;name;username;tile;groups
```

Yeah, that’s more than the bulk invite tool will work with. You’ll need to get your rake task working, or use the API. Unfortunately I can’t assist with that.

I tried by API but, it gets rate limited. I got this script on [GitHub - vindia/discourse\_user\_importer: A tiny script to import users from a CSV file into Discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/vindia/discourse_user_importer), but it’s not working as i’ve described on this thread.
