  • Can you migrate users in FME Server from Directory Server to Azure AD? Or do you have to re-import all your users and assign roles.

My organization is upgrading to FME Server 2021 (from 2018), and we'd also like to update our authentication method from Windows Directory to Azure. 

 

I restored the backup configuration from our FME Server 2018, so all our user profiles are coming from the Windows Directory. I have successfully set up a connection to Azure and can import new users (the user says Type = Azure AD), but is there a way to migrate my existing users from Type = Directory Server to Type = Azure AD? Alternatively, I could re-import all my users from Azure AD and re-assign roles, but I was hoping there would be a way to switch the authentication.

 

Thanks

Hi @alicia.kennedy​ you can import roles by using the Import Groups icon. here are a couple related articles that might help

You can also add permissions to match those from an existing role. Here are some instructions for doing that
