    Description

      Problem Definition

      When importing Jira backup there is no option to not import users and groups, it would be good to have a menu option to not import users.

      Suggested Solution

      Add a switch for importing users or not.

      Workaround

      Remove the users and groups from the entitites.xml file.

      sed -i '' '/<User id="/d' entities.xml
      sed -i '' '/<Group id="/d' entities.xml
      sed -i '' '/<Membership id="/d' entities.xml
      

      Note: This workaround works most of the time, but each case needs to be assessed individually if you are having problems importing users, open a support ticket in our customer portal.
