# File User Mapping

When [Importing](/v1/docs/how-to-import-test-assets-into-panaya) or [updating](/v1/docs/how-to-mass-update-tests-and-steps-using-an-excel-template) Tests and Defects into Panaya, the Import Wizard allows assigning activities in the template file to the relevant users in Panaya. User mapping is also available when [updating existing Defects](/v1/docs/how-to-update-existing-defects-using-file).
