Onboarding Suppliers and their users

Because of the dependency on Auth0 for authentication and the way the architecture and data model is currently split, onboarding suppliers and their users is a three-step process:

1. Add suppliers
2. Add users to Auth0 and local database, and create memberships

1. Add suppliers to the API application

See this data migration for an example of a data migration that will add a list of new suppliers to the application. Note that it also outputs a data-structure that will be used in the next step.

2. Add users to Auth0 and local database, and create memberships

The Import::Users utility class can be used to bulk-import users:

Import::User.new('/tmp/users.csv').run

See the class file for further documentation.
