Export Users

The Export Users step retrieves all user definitions from the selected plan and exports them to a file (users.json) stored in the project folder on the server. This includes user metadata such as user identifiers and associated license information.

Prerequisite steps

There are no prerequisite steps for this migration step.

Step details

• Output files:
  

  • users.json: Contains all user metadata defined in the plan.
  • userMappings.json: Maps users from the Qlik Sense Client-Managed environment to corresponding identities in Qlik Cloud. This file is used by downstream steps to correctly transfer object ownership and apply assignments.

• Purpose:
  This step ensures that all necessary user references are preserved and available for other steps like application ownership transfer, space assignments, and sheet migrations.

Notes

• Users must already exist in the Qlik Cloud tenant for assignments or ownership changes to succeed. This step does not provision or invite users to Qlik Cloud.
• The userMappings.json file is essential for enabling accurate mapping of app and sheet ownership during migration.
