Profiles

Create many profiles at once

Batch create makes up to a hundred new profiles from one form, each with its own device identity. Import profiles brings in profiles described in a file, with their accounts, cookies and proxies.

There are two ways to make many profiles in one go. Batch create is for new, empty profiles that should share the same settings. Import profiles is for profiles you already have described somewhere else, such as a spreadsheet of accounts or a file exported from another tool.

Both are behind the small button to the right of New profile at the top of the sidebar.

Before you start

PowerOps installed and signed in, with your workspace open.
For Batch create, no special role: any member who can create a profile can create several.
For Import profiles, the owner or admin role in the workspace, because an import can create groups and store passwords for everyone in it.

1. Batch create

Choose the button to the right of New profile, then Batch create. The Batch create form opens: it is the Create profile form with one more row.
Set Number of profiles, from 1 to 100.
Type a Profile name. PowerOps adds a number to it for each profile, so Store becomes Store (1), Store (2) and so on.
Choose a Group and Tags if the new profiles belong somewhere. They apply to every profile in the batch.
In the Proxy section, leave Custom on No proxy, or choose Saved proxies and pick one from your library. Every profile in the batch gets that proxy; to give each profile its own, assign proxies afterwards from the Proxies page.
Fill in the Platform section if every profile signs in to the same platform. The username and password are copied to each profile.
Choose Create, or Create and launch to open each profile as it is made.

What you should see

The button counts through the batch (Creating 3 of 10…) and the form closes when the last profile exists. The new profiles are at the top of the Profiles list.

If PowerOps stops part way, for example because a proxy is refused, it says how many profiles it made before the error. Those profiles are kept, so fix the cause and batch create the rest.

2. Import profiles from a file

Choose the button to the right of New profile, then Import profiles.
Drop the file on the dialog, or choose it. PowerOps reads Excel, CSV, TXT and ZIP files, and recognises the layout by its content rather than by its name.
Check what PowerOps found: how many profiles, and how many passwords, 2FA keys and cookie sessions it will store.
Choose a destination group and any tags for the imported profiles.
Confirm. PowerOps creates the profiles and stores their secrets in this workspace.

What you should see

The new profiles appear in the list, each with its account, cookies and proxy if the file had them.

Writing your own file

The import dialog offers a template. It has one row per profile and these columns: name, group, tags, platform, username, password, totp_secret, cookies, proxy, country, start_url and notes. Fill in only the columns you need, keep the column titles as they are, and do not merge cells.

tags takes several tags separated by a semicolon, such as warmup;fr.
proxy takes one proxy per row, in any form the Add proxy page reads, such as http://user:pass@203.0.113.10:8080.
cookies takes the cookies for that profile as JSON (the format browser cookie extensions export) or as a Netscape cookies.txt block.
totp_secret is the 2FA key, the text a site shows next to its QR code.
A username needs a platform, so PowerOps knows where to sign in.

Good to know

A PowerOps export (the file Export makes) is imported the same way, from Import profiles.
Imported passwords, 2FA keys and cookies are stored encrypted in the workspace, like ones you type in.
To fill in many profiles that already exist, select them in the list and use the bulk actions in the bar above the table instead.
