Import Users in Dynamics 365 - Set State: Disable to Migrate Data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Roxana 691

Hi folks:

When I import users through 'Import Tool' of Dynamics 365 CE (Settings/Data Management/Import), the users are set as:
-State: Disabled;
-BU: root BU.
-Role: Commercial

These users are imported this way, because at the time, they don´t have licence by now, but we need to make the migration of data on which these users are the owners.

Using a program developed with SDK, We load the 'Accounts' and assign these disabled users, without any problem.  

But I wonder if this is a bug of the system or non-supported method?, if it is a bug, it might be corrected on the future days

I have also made the tests of:  Creating a user through: 
-Active Dierectory
-Office 365 ( Assign the licence: Dynamics 365 CE)
-Assign the Security Group.

The user is set to Enable.

Thanks in advanced.

    Hi people.

    The best way to deal with the lack of licenses for the users that own records in Dynamics 365 during a migration is:

    -Assign the license Dynamics 365 in (Office 365)

    -Assign to the security group (if one exists for the instance).

    In Dynamics 365:

    -Set the Business Unit.

    -Set the roles.

    -At this moment the user is: Active.

    Once the user is right configured in Dynamics 365, go to Office 365:

    -Remove the license Dynamics 365 in (Office 365)

    -Optional (remove from the security groups)

    -At this moment, you have one license free again.

    Do this procedure for all the users.

    During data migration, you can assign a record to a disable user, as you can do it manually too.

    Thanks
