AEM Users And Groups Migration

Introduction
This blog will demonstrate to you how to migrate the groups and users with ACL permissions from one Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) server to another.
Groups Migration
· Install ACS commons package.
· Login to the AEM author instance.
· Navigate to the tools page so we can able to see the acs-common folder.
· Touch UI, Navigate to Tools -> Operations ->Configuration,
· Classic UI open Tools Console (http://localhost:4502/miscadmin#/etc/acs-commons/packagers)
· Now we need to create a new page under the packager’s folder with ACL Packager Template


Double click and open the page(Migrate Users)
· Edit ACL Packager Configuration rules and configuration, as shown in below screenshot and click OK


Now enter all values:





· Now click on create a package.


Now go to the /crx/packmgr and download the package. We can install this package in other AEM instances
3. Users Migration
We can do users migration in two ways:
3.1 Creating ACL Packager:
We need to create a new ACL packager like the above and deploy it in other AEM instances.
3.2 Package Create:
Another way is we can build the package directly from http://localhost:4502/crx/packmgr with all users and install it in any other instance.
