Hi there
We have a situation where we have a number of groups and a number of roles, all sitting in our Portal QA system. Each group is mapped to 1 or more roles.
We now need to move these groups, roles and mappings to the production system.
I found that a collection of groups can be exported, and then imported from the User Import screen in production. The file that is generated can / does include users, so the import will assign users to the group when it is performed.
Likewise, roles can be added to a transport package and then transported to the production system.
The only part of the puzzle that is missing is the link between groups and roles ...
Does anybody know how I can go about transporting the group-role assignment from one portal system to another.
The format of the file contents for importing a group is:
[group]
gid=<GroupID>
gdesc=<GroupDescription>
user=<User>;<User>
If I export users, the file contents follow a similar pattern:
uid=<UserID>
role=<Role1>;<Role2>
group=<Group1>;<Group2>;
So ... I am seeing a bit of a pattern here, so was really hoping there is something that I can do that will allow for the group-role mappings to be included. I tried include role=<RoleID> in the groups file, but that didn't work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrew
