Deploy Users / Groups to another Environment

[Naresh]

Hi All,

Setting up a new environment, need to know how to deploy the users / groups from one environment to another (Ex: Dev to QA)

Depends on the intricacies of the situation and you would need to pick an option.

1. Database back up and restore.
2. Export full content store with security information.
3. Selective deployment with just a dummy folder and include security information if you don't want to deploy anything else. Be careful with this as it will wipe out the existing security in the target.

Make sure that the namespace configuration is identical in all environments especially the namespace I'd property.

Thank you!!

Could you please let me know how to do the export of whole content store?
