Hi Team,
We are planning to Clone the Prod to Sub-prod including "Sys_user" table, my questions are
1. If we clone, will it create new accounts or update existing users accounts?
2. We have some web service accounts too, will it update the passwords too? will it impact on credentials.
3. Does this impact any user login credentials?
4. Also, does it copy roles and groups same as prod?
Please suggest, thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi there,
It depends if you have clone preservers/excludes on your instance. Though if not:
1. Existing user accounts will be overwritten
2. Yes passwords will be overwritten
3. Again yes
4. Yes sys_user_grmember, sys_user_has_role, etc. will be copied
If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.
Kind regards,
Mark

You can take the backup(XML) of user accounts which are not available in the production and after cloning is done you can import the xml...
