 * Hi,
 * i tried to play around with your plugin.
    i tried to modify the role of the uploaded
   users, but were not able to do so.
 * could you post here an example how to code the name of the database field and
   the content in the csv-file.
 * thanks

 * Hi,
 * The field should be called ‘role’ and its content should have the name of the
   role (e.g. administrator, contributor, and so on).
 * This is actually a shortcut, instead of having to use the meta name (wp_capabilities).
   Thanks for asking. I will update the example.csv file in the next version.
 * Let me know if you have other questions, bugs reports or features requests.

 * Thanks Ulrich. The key to using the plugin is making sure each column has a header
   that matches those in WP.
