Plan your Cloud migration
Documents to help you prepare to migrate your Atlassian Server products.
We recommend that you migrate Jira users and groups before project data to save time on the migration day. Your users can also start working in cloud or learning the ropes as you continue to migrate projects and data.
When you migrate Jira users and groups in advance, we migrate:
All users
All groups, including empty groups
(Optional) Group membership
(Optional) All Jira Service Management customers
We’ll also migrate your groups' product access (in server, application access), but we won’t apply it without your approval, because it affects billing. After migrating, you’ll see a notification in admin.atlassian.com asking to you review product and admin access for each migrated group.

In your future migrations, we won’t re-migrate your users, but include only the differences. When you start migrating data, we’ll match all references, such as project roles, mentions, or comments to you migrated users.
To migrate Jira users and groups in advance:
Open the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant.
On the home screen, find the Migrate your users in advance card, and select Migrate users.
3. On the Connect to cloud screen, connect to your cloud site.
4. On the Choose how to migrate users and group screen, select whether you’d like to preserve group memberships and additionally migrate your customers.
