Exporting and Importing Group Settings

You can export and import the settings of group administration, for example to transport changes to the rights system which you have created on a test system, to the production system. The settings will be saved in an XML file during export.

The following changes can be transported:

• New groups (identified based on their name)

• Assignments of rights to groups

• New, deleted, and amended clauses

The spelling of the field names of clauses – database name, internal name, or name in the case of the same language settings – must match the data of a system into which the data will be imported.

The following changes are not transported:

• Deleted and amended groups

• Users

• Assignments of users to roles, groups, and rights.
