Risk related to migrating confluence from on-prem to cloud using MAT

[Majid Abdulsatar]

1. if migrate only certain spaces (without groups and users) what are the risks am looking at? 

2. if I migrate the whole thing to the cloud what are the risks there? 

any insights will be appreciated

I won't suggest you to go with option 1 at all.

Follow Atlassian recommendations when you are migrating your Confluence Instance from DC to Cloud.

Below are the steps for the migration:

Let me know if you have any questions.

may I ask why you advice against option 1 ? thank you so much for you input

Because what is the point of migrating an instance without users? the first issue I can think of is inaccessible spaces because of permissions.

I want to move only few users, how can I config that? I do not want to pay for extra licenses that I do not need.

Make sure to make the changes in the original instance before migrating to the new one (users change)
