3782679 - Employee Data Import Fails for Alumni External Users with Target Population Error - Onboarding

When importing employee data for alumni external users, the following error is displayed even after applying the standard resolution in KBA 2434802 (disabling target population validation for Employee Central Import Entities in the administrator's permission role):

Error: You are trying to import data for a user not part of your target population. Contact your administrator to proceed with the import.

The error occurs specifically when the target user record belongs to the External Alumni User type. Imports targeting internal employee records are not affected by this limitation.
