An account or group map exception provides the ability to explicitly map a specific user from one platform to another. These are exceptions to the automatic account or group mapping policies specified. Account or group map exceptions can be defined during the creation of the map or can be imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file.
Important CSV Template Information
If you receive an error when importing a CSV file, the file does not meet the expected format. You will need to edit the file before attempting to import it again. Please see Account Map / Group Map | CSV File Guidelines for map templates and sample downloads.

Import exceptions into an existing account map
Exceptions can be added to an existing account map by either appending to the current list of exceptions or overwriting all exceptions with a new list of exceptions. Also, they can be added by specifying the exceptions in the JSON or importing them from a CSV.
After appending to an existing account map, DataHub will not go back and remap content already transferred. However, the updated account map will be used for future operations.

Group map
A group map is managed in much the same way as account maps, but must be managed separately. All above documentation applies to group maps as well, just substitute "group_maps" in the URL for "account_maps" and "group_map" as the type, if the type is required in the JSON.
