User Migration

User migration transfers any users associated with your existing SharePoint environment into SiteMinder, so that you can manage all of your users with SiteMinder. Consider the following when planning your user migration:

• Administrators who migrate users need the following permissions for each web site from which they want to migrate users:
  • SPBasePermissions
  • EnumeratePermissions

  Note: For more information, see your Microsoft documentation, or go to http://support.microsoft.com/

  Without the previous permissions, the users associated with the web site cannot be migrated.

• The following users cannot be migrated
  • The SHAREPOINT\system user.
  • Any SharePoint Farm Administrators (Farm Administrators lose access to the SharePoint Central Administration UI after migration).
• Reverse migration using the SiteMinder Management UI is not supported. After users have been migrated using the SiteMinder Management UI, they cannot be migrated back to SharePoint.
