Overview

A user account or group map provides the ability to explicitly associate users and groups for the purposes of setting ownership and permissions on items transferred.  These mappings can happen automatically using rules or explicitly using an exception.  Accounts or groups can be excluded by specifying an exclusion, and unmapped users can be defaulted to a known user.  Here are a few things to consider when creating an account or group map:

• A source and destination connection are required and need to match the source and destination of the job that will be referencing the user or group map.

• A map can be created before or during the creation of the job.

• A map can be used across multiple jobs.

• Once updated, the updates will not be reapplied to content that has already been transferred.

"map_by" Options

The table below lists the options available to use in the "map_by" element when creating or editing map. Note that all options are flagged as optional; however, if you are not using the default option, you must select at least one of the following options in order for the map to work: id, username, name, displayname, email, externalpassthrough, or passthrough.
