NOTE: Users DO NOT have to have "Modify All Data" check on their Salesforce profile to use PeopleImport, however, comparisons will only be done against Leads, Contacts and Accounts that the user has the rights to see according to their security profile.
Although not required to login to PeopleImport, it is highly recommended that "Manage Users" be checked on the user's profile. If Manage Users is not checked, then the user does not have access to the user table and as such will only be able to assign records to themselves or a group or queue. They WILL NOT be able to assign records to another user.
Here is an example of the error that can occur when "Manage Users" is NOT checked:
2010-05-24T08:52:39-07:00,PeopleImport Update,"Converting Alias or Name to ID",,,,,,,"The input value of 00530000000vArOBhn could not be converted to an owner ID. The current Users ID was used"
In this case, the record IS STILL updated/inserted, but the owner will be changed to the current user (not the owner that was listed in the input file and mapped to the owner id field).
