Exporting Users & Groups

    You may want to export the names of users from your Users & Groups Data File so that you can import their names on another computer running an AppleShare IP server.

  To export users, follow these steps:
1 Open the Web & File Admin program, if it's not already open.
2 Choose Show Users & Groups List from the Users menu.
The Users & Groups List window appears.
3 Select one or more users or groups from the list.
To choose everyone in the list, choose Select All from the Edit menu.
Note: If you select a group, the names of individual users in the group are exported, not the group. Guest cannot be exported.
4 Choose Export Users and Groups from the File menu.
A save dialog box appears.
5 Type a name for the exported file and locate the folder in which you want to save it.
6 Click Save.
The Export Users dialog box appears.
7 Under Export Attribute, click the checkbox for each attribute you want to export.
If none of the attributes are checked, the exported file will contain only the names of users. Make a note of the attributes that you export. You'll need to specify them later when you import the file.
Note: To export the e-mail attributes, you must also export the Internet alias.
IMPORTANT: For security reasons, you cannot export users' passwords. To add them back manually, see Editing a Data File That Was Exported. Or, after you've imported the data file, see Changing User Names, Internet Aliases, or Passwords.
8 Click OK.
The export file is saved. To import this file on another computer that runs AppleShare IP, see Importing User Files.
