Cause

The Learning entities IDs entered in the files are case sensitive.

Resolution

Please correct the ID in question, making sure to exactly match the same value currently the system (note that it is case sensitive, for example "DEFAULT USER" should be used instead of "Default User").

When entering the User ID, make sure to enter the zeros on the left and to keep it in the excel file. Sometimes the excel itself removes the zeros in the left. For example, the user ID is '00012345' in the system. This should match exactly in the file being imported.
