We don't have 2nd approver, but I am receiving this message "Please enter a valid 2nd Approver email address" when I click next. I added "2nd Approver Email" as shown above but am still getting the error message.
Hi Tony!
2nd Approver field is optional when creating a new user. Having said this, if a second approver is needed, a valid email address must be entered. It should follow a standard email format, such as "user@company.com"

I should have clarified that I receive the message "Please enter a valid 2nd Approver email address" when using the bulk user upload tool. I tried not including an email address, and I tried entering "2nd Approver Email" just to have something besides a blank inbetween the commas, but I still received the error message and could not use the bulk user upload tool unless I had a valid email address populated.
Hi Tony,
If there is no second level approver, you can enter ",," with no spaces in between the commas, for the second level approver email address.
