Hello,

This is a followup from a thread in the SQL-section named “Unable to import users when moving repository to Oracle”

My problem is, I cannot export users from the repository.  
Versions:  
Servoy 3.0.2 Build 373  
Scenario:

- Open Developer
- Open Repository
- Select Solution + Export to File
- Check “Export Users” box
- Open servoy-file using winzip
- The user\_info.xml is empty ( here I would expect user-data)

Please let me know if I need to provide additional info.

Alfons.

Alfons,

Servoy only exports users that have a security relation to the solution you’re exporting.  
Make sure that users belong to a group that has security settings (accessible/viewable) to an element or a form.

You can enforce group security settings by selecting the group, on the forms tab select a form or a named field in a form of your solution and press the update-button.

Now all users belonging to that group will be exported.

Rob

Rob,

Thanks for explanation!

Followed instructions, and now the users get exported.
