Exporting Confluence Users

Question

Hi,

I'm wondering what is the best way to export Confluence users?

Basically, I want to export all the Confluence users from the current instance of Confluence and import them into another Instance. I don't believe Confluence has functionality for exporting users though so not sure what the best way of doing this is?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

You can use Confluence User Export to do the export.

Hi Tom,

Ah.  Yes, I think the Export Users functionality came out in 5.10 or 6.

There are SQL commands to get the data out into CSV format, examples being here and here.

You can then use add-ons like this (free but unsupported) or this (priced, but supported) to upload the CSV into your new instance.
