Transferring Groups & Group Memberships between instances

[shane_holland]

Hello,

I noticed when I was working in an update set I created, one of the things I did was create a new Group and add new users/members to it. However, when I moved the update set over to our production instance, the new Group did not come with it. By exporting the Group table via XML and importing it to production, this brought over the new group but did not bring with the group members. In order to get the group memberships to transfer over, must you also do an XML export of the User table and then import it to production?

It seems like an odd way to move these changes over, is there another way or is this best practice/how it works?

Thanks,

Shane

Hi Johnson,

I was doing same thing in my own instance but didn't import any group and group member in "sys_user_grmember" table.

I followed same procedure as you mention in above chain.

Please suggest where can i lack this process.

You'll need to Active Elevated Privileges / security_admin to use the Import XML from header capability from any list view.

Click the Padlock on the top left.

Then click the 'security_admin' checkbox.
