Re: [Setup] Migrating members from one instance to the other
Thanks Laurence. Actually your link did not solve my problem but I found that the member password can be found protected in: acl_users.source_users._user_passwords Then those password can be added to the other plone instance with: acl_users.source_users.addUser(member_id, member_id, password) Taito Copying and pasting acl_users between the instances should do the right thing, but you'll need to test it to be sure. Member properties (full name, email address, etc) are stored in portal_memberdata not in acl_users, so you might want to copy and paste that too. Thanks for the advice. Well, actually one instance already has its own members and the other also has other members. So copy and paste portal_memberdata and acl_users does not solve this issue. I should have said that how I can merge members between two plone instances. Is password stored under acl_users since it could not be fetched from portal_memberdata? If I can manage to merge members (maybe users?) then I can relate memberdata based on member ids later on. In that case I suggest exporting both sets of members to csv, working out which need to be merged and re-importing. See: http://plone.org/documentation/kb/export-member-data-to-csv and http://plone.org/documentation/kb/batch-adding-users for inspiration.

[Setup] Migrating members from one instance to the other
Hello, What is the best practice to migrate members from one instance to the other which are located in the same zope instance? I need member password and roles to be migrated. Plone version 2.5.5 Taito ___ Setup mailing list Setup@lists.plone.org https://lists.plone.org/mailman/listinfo/setup

I tried to export/import via ZMI, but ended up with all members orphaned in portal_memberdata.
