Hi Stefan

Is there a way to Export and Import just user group rights and users from Site Manager in MCMS 2002?

Hi Ankit,

no, this can only be done using the Site Deployment API.

Cheers,

Stefan

Can you give me an example how to do it using Site Deployment API's ? I have an existing MCMS Database which has more then 100 users and 50 User groups I need to Import all new SDO to it how do I retain the user groups and right there so that channel hierarchy is new but rights are old.

Hi Ankit,

the following script can be used to export all users and rights groups:

Dim pCmsDeployExport

Dim shell

Dim pExportOptions

Set pCmsUserGroupBackupRestore =

CreateObject("CmsDeployServer.CmsUserGroupBackupRestore.1")

pCmsUserGroupBackupRestore.AuthenticateAsCurrentUser()

If ( Err.Number <> 0 ) Then

Call MsgBox(Err.Description, vbCritical, "Backup/Restore PROBLEM")

Set pCmsUserGroupBackupRestore = Nothing

else

strPackageFileName = "c:\export-users.sdo"

strReportUrl = pCmsUserGroupBackupRestore.Backup("strPackageFileName")

' Display the report in the Web browser.

Set shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

shell.Run "http://localhost" & strReportUrl, 7

WScript.Echo "Export complete."

end if

Cheers,

Stefan

Just checked it did imported the users but the Channel rights were not imported, while Importing the SDO I chose:

Use Package Container Rights in Containers

Replace with package container rights

I dont know what am I doing wrong it is importing all the users and groups but not the Channel/Resource/Template rights, can you tell me why please.

Hi Ankit,

that is as expected. This CmsUserGroupBackupRestore allows to backup/restore rights groups with users. To deploy rights on the channels you need to export the channels with the appropriate option in Site Manager. There is a "Rights Options" tab on the Site Deployment export dialog and there are options on whether to import container rights on the import dialog.

Cheers,

Stefan
