      Scenario

      After using the Site Importer tool to restore a Confluence backup, users are presented with the error below when trying to create new users:

      Oops - an error has occurred
      
      (https://example.atlassian.net/wiki/)System Error
      A system error has occurred — our apologies!

      Cause
      
      com.atlassian.confluence.core.InsufficientPrivilegeException: User [example] does not have the required privileges.
      at com.atlassian.confluence.user.DefaultUserAccessor.addMembership(DefaultUserAccessor.java:169)
      

      Cause

      Apparently the import overwrites the groups in OnDemand, and the users group gets deleted in case it is not present in the backup. With the absence of that group, Confluence is unable to include new users to it and throws the error above.

      Workaround

      Create the users group manually after the import
