Apex User Management Automation

This project automates the process of adding and editing users in the Apex system using Python and the Helium library for browser automation.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher
• Firefox browser
• pip for managing Python packages

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Brand07/Python--Apex-Connect-And-Go.git

2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following content:

   APEX_URL=www.apexconnectandgo.com
   APEX_USERNAME=your_username
   APEX_PASSWORD=your_password

4. Place the New_Apex_Users.xlsx file in the root directory. This file should contain the user data to be added or edited.

Usage

Run the script to start the automation process:

python main.py

Logging

Logs are written to both the console and a file named apex.log in the root directory. The log file contains information about the users added or edited and any errors encountered during the process.

Exception Handling

Custom exceptions are defined in the exceptions.py file. The LoginError exception is raised if there is an issue with logging into the Apex system.

Project Structure

• main.py: The main script that performs the automation.
• exceptions.py: Contains custom exception classes.
• requirements.txt: Lists the Python dependencies for the project.
• .env: Contains environment variables for the Apex URL, username, and password.
• apex.log: Log file for the automation process.

Note

This project is geared mostly to my environment. With that being said, you will more than likely need to change some things such as the group assignments, badge number format, etc. Open an issue if you'd like some assistance with this.
