Overview of Importing and Exporting Access Group Objects

Speed up your work with access groups objects using Import and Export Management.

Here are some points to keep in mind when exporting and importing access group data:

• You can import and export access groups and access group members.

  If you have large numbers of users to add to one or more access groups – or whose assignments you want to change – use import and export management. For example, if there are thousands of sales representatives in your organization and you want to assign them to an access group, you could search for all users who are assigned the Sales Representative role and export this list of users to a CSV file. You could then edit the file to specify the name of the access group the users are to be assigned to, then import the updated CSV file.

• You can import and export access group membership rules, predefined and custom object sharing rules, hybrid rules, and access extension rules.

• You can’t import access group relationship data for access extension rules.

  Use this functionality to move rules data from one environment to another, or to make large-scale updates to your custom rules at a time.

Note: You can't import system groups or add members to system groups using the import functionality.
