Best way to migrate from Integrated Security to Custom?

Best way to migrate from Integrated Security to Custom?

avatar

We've been using Integrated Security for some years and are ready to migrate to Custom. I don't see any automatic way to convert users.

  1. Is user conversion able to be automated in any reasonable fashion?
  2. If not, is there an easy way to replicate direct permission on entries for a user using their new ID? Is this just walking the whole DB with the Powershell module?


Any suggestion on the simplest approach to proceed by anyone that's tackled this is appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching out!

You are right, there is no built-in way of doing this.
The permission system is managed with names (User group names to be more accurate)
PowerShell can help a lot in solving this challenge. I suggest you take a look on our Github repository :
https://github.com/Devolutions/RDMSamples-ps/tree/main/module/security

For the User authentication method conversion, I suggest you open a ticket (service@devolutions.net), we'll see what we can do to help.
Please mention this ticket URL (https://forum.devolutions.net/topics/36987/best-way-to-migrate-from-integrated-security-to-custom) in the email.

Thank!

Best regards,
