Import ACLs tied to a role from one instance to another

[Nate23]

Hello,

I had a new developer accidentally delete the oob discovery_admin out of dev/test/prod about a week ago we just caught the error. I was able to recover it in dev, but not the other instances through the deleted records table. so I have the related list exported from dev for the 370 ACLs tied to that role. I want to transfer those to test/prod without messing anything up. Is there a better way is this good practice? how do I recover this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Good lord.

First I'd call SN and triple verify that the record is absent from deleted records.  

If that fails I'd try to recover JUST the role.   OOB role should have common sys_id's across instances.

There's a slight chance this might be all that's needed.   I'm hoping that the deletion of the role didn't cascade record deletion across all the ACL-Role relationship records.  

If Crom smiles on you, then importing the role via XML should repair orphaned relationships.

If not, the level of help you need should be coming from a more official channel than community.   You need to get the vendor's help on this.

Thank you so much for the quick reply! I will ask SN for help! This is such a pain!
