The Migration Utility migrates user roles, but not the role security settings. You migrate the role security (field, functional, and viewable linked object permissions) manually.
A user role is the primary record that controls security and user interface navigation. Each role defines a focused view of the product by exposing only the functionality necessary for users to perform the tasks that are typically assigned to their roles in their business organization. The default role for a user, together with the user interface configuration, determines what the user sees when logging in. A user can belong to only a single role.
You configure user roles to apply functional and field-level repository access rights. You determine and assign the level of access that is required for each role. Role assignment prevents the users from performing unauthorized tasks, such as adding or deleting data.
Field security defines the role permissions for an object field, for example, full control. Functional security defines the role permissions for functions on an object, for example, copy an asset. Viewable Linked Object Security defines the fields for the object.
You create the security permission settings for an object in the object local configurations. Then, you assign one of the object configurations to a role. The field and functional security permissions for a role are determined by the object configurations that are assigned to that role. The object configuration for each role is identified on the Role Security Reports for the object.
You perform the following manual migrations to migrate the role security:
Use the information in the Role Security Reports to migrate the role field security, role functional security, and role viewable linked field security manually.
