I have developed these functionalities for this demo project

1. create a group
2. unlock locked users
3. create and activate users using a CSV file
4. delete users using a CSV file
5. activate users using a CSV file

   python -m ensureip --upgrade

   2. install ldap3 package // source : LDAP3

   pip install ldap3

   3. install python-dotenv package // source : Python-dotenv

   pip install python-dotenv

   4. create a .env file in the root directory with your own data :
