Config Migration Tip – Use PowerShell to export and import Security Roles

I have been doing a lot of migration prep work and wanted to share a big time saver for moving security roles. You can use PowerShell to export and import security roles. If you have lots of custom roles this is a huge time saver.

To export all of the custom roles

Get-CMSecurityRole |Where IsBuiltin -eq $false|select RoleId, RoleName|%{Export-CMSecurityRole -RoleId $_.RoleId -Path "C:\Temp\$($_.RoleName).xml"}

1	Get-CMSecurityRole \|Where IsBuiltin -eq $false\|select RoleId, RoleName\|%{Export-CMSecurityRole -RoleId $_.RoleId -Path "C:\Temp\$($_.RoleName).xml"}

After you collect all the xml files for the roles and are ready to import them use this

Get-ChildItem -path c:\temp -Filter "*.xml"|%{Import-CMSecurityRole -Overwrite $false -XmlFileName $_.fullname}

1	Get-ChildItem -path c:\temp -Filter "*.xml"\|%{Import-CMSecurityRole -Overwrite $false -XmlFileName $_.fullname}
