Hi @VenkataSreC 

On Production instance:
Go to "Sys_user" table
1. First filter out all the user you want from production instance. 

2. Select all filtered user, and click on "column options", And click on "export" , select "XML".
Please refere screen shot

On Dev Instance:
1. Open Sys_user list
2. Click on "column option"
3. Scroll down select "import", and add Exported xml and you good to go

You'll get the selected users on DEV as well.

@VenkataSreC I'm far from being expert to personal data or GDPR but be careful about moving data from one instance to another 🙂 for just 10 records, you can re-create them manually and if you will move it via XML, run anonymisation script to classify emails and other personal data.

 

Sometimes people with admin access to DEV don't have admin access to PROD, so even for 10 records it might be a security breach or risk... you should talk to the platform owner about this.
