Lifecycle Management migrates Native Directory artifacts (users, groups, roles, delegated lists, and assigned roles) from one system to another. Lifecycle Management helps you define the Native Directory artifacts to migrate. Additionally, with Lifecycle Management, you can make bulk security updates within an environment; for example, you can change all the security assignments for a user or a set of users. In cases where a large number of users are provisioned to use various EPM System products using Shared Services, while exporting Native Directory artifacts, there is an option to filter the users and groups being exported.
