Hi @Kasper Hedegaard ,

Yes, it is in the entities.xml. you'll have to search and replace the old username with the new username and afterwards you can try to import it, but modifying this file can cause errors on import.

@Bastian Stehmann - I have the same issue, where old users of the Confluence A space X are still set as author of documents etc. of the Confluence B space X. The users from Confluence A are listed as (unlicensed) in Confluence B.

I've migrated via the XML.

What do I need to change in the XML? I assume it's in the "entities"?

You should be able to change them in the user management section?

Or if you have a lot of users using the REST API (Did that with Postman in Batch Mode once).

Last and least recommended to do it in the database.
