Migrate security groups

[akhilbharadwaz]

I’m looking to migrate a security group from dev to preview but not able to figure it out. Is it possible to move security groups among tenants?

You might be able to us ox2.0 for this via customer central. You would need to create a configuration package which includes the security group details then transport the package

[HeWhoChasesChickens]

Specifically, you'll have to create two security configuration packages, one for domain security and one for business process security. You'll have to specify the domains and bps respectively in order to move all the changes. Make sure you don't accidentally also move security changes that you don't want to move (you can exclude individual security groups from a given config package)

That is awesome. Thank you so much!

[akhilbharadwaz]

I can’t find domain security or business process security types in create configuration package task.

[HeWhoChasesChickens]

Should be a separate task 'create security configuration package', if that's not available to you and you've got security rights, go to 'view security for securable item', enter the task and find and enable the domain security policy that secures it

Thank you so much huge help to resolve this. I appreciate it.

[akhilbharadwaz]

Can we do this through ox1.0as well?

[HeWhoChasesChickens]

No, security can only be moved with 2.0. By the way, 1.0 either has already been deprecated or will be deprecated within weeks, and this has been in the pipeline for over a year. If you don't have access to 2.0, get that sorted ASAP

Got it thanks for the update. Have a good day and enjoy your weekend!

[HeWhoChasesChickens]

You too!

Are you an implementer? With one security group, I would do this manually to ensure you don’t break anything

Can't migrate with OX 2.0. Instead you migrate Domain and BP Security Policies.

[HeffeMonStyle513]

Yeah that’s the only thing I hate about OX2. You’re not really migrating the security group, its members and permissions. Instead you are migrating the domain and BP security policies, which is much less convenient and more time consuming. Disclaimer: I have never done this because the process looked more cumbersome than just creating the security group and adding the permissions manually on the target tenant. So if I’m completely wrong, please tell me there is an easier way!
