About identity migration​

Identity data refers to:

  • Identities (users, groups and tenants).
  • Authorizations.

Requirements and limitations​

As of today, the following requirements and limitations apply:

  • The experimental feature only includes the migration of tenants (not including tenant memberships).
  • Migration for other identity entities as well as retrying skipped entities are not yet implemented.
  • Once migration has been triggered, it's strongly recommended not to create new identity data on Camunda 7. Even if migration is attempted again, the new data might not be migrated.

Usage examples​

# Run identity migration (experimental)
./start.sh --identity
