Hi Shradha,
You can import Salesforce data extensions into the Marketing Cloud through Interactions and Automation Studio. Create import activities with accessible Sales or Service Cloud reports. For example, if you can’t access a report in Marketing Cloud, you can’t access it in the Marketing Cloud Admin folder of Sales or Service Cloud.
Manual and automated imports behave differently in scope-by-user accounts:
Manual import activities respect scoping, so the number of records that appear in the report are specific to the user who is running the import.
All automated import activities are executed as the Marketing Cloud API User. Therefore, the number of records reflect the Salesforce system user’s (tracking user) level of access to data.

Hi,
Import a list into a data extension in Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Before you can import a file, you need to create a data extension and also the importfile. Your import file must contain a header row and atleast one row of data; it should also be a comma-, tab-, or other character-delimited file.
Hope this helps.
