    I am building a website where i want to import users from a database that is not setup with modx structure.
    Where can i read about how modx user fields are connected with each other?

    I am using revolution. And it seems like it doesnt list users inside the user manager unless class key is set
    and it also seems like a user cant log in unless internal key is set in modx_user_attributes.

    Any help on this issue?

    • In MODx Revolution you are meant to use the API for adding data (vs. directly populating with SQL). This is why it was built on a O/RM layer, so we can make the core work on a variety of database engines. That said, those are the main two things I can think of. You can always add users via UI and then check the database to see what it is doing, but if you work with the classes, you will have a lot better luck as we start to change the back-end structures to support new features.
