Copy Group along with its Members and Roles from One Instance to Another Instance in a Single Click

Import · Nov 30, 2020 · article

Brief Description

In our regular development work we use to create/update different Groups and Its Roles/Members very frequently. Once we create/update, we either use "Create Application Files" to add it to your update set (This may not work always) or Export the Groups, Roles and Members in separate XML files and Import the same into Other Instances i.e. (Dev/QA/UAT/Production etc.,).

To reduce/minimize this effort of exporting and importing the XML in multiple instances, I came up with a solution where we will have an option within Groups to choose the Instance of our own and Copy the Group, Roles and its Members at once i.e. in a single click.

  • Once you select the Instance of your choice and save the record, it copies the Group to the Selected Instance along with Group Members and Roles.
  • You don't need to Import and export xml files between instances, it just copies in a single click

Download the Update Set from the below location and follow the instructions mentioned in the Release Notes.

Let me know in case of any modifications are needed.

Thanks,
