Summary
Learn what to do when your user migration fails with "Reached limit of email aliases for a single user during".
Overview
User accounts are created in Atlassian's Cloud based on their email address during the user migration.

1

john.doe+business@gmail.com
john.doe+personal@gmail.com

Solution
Use the migration assistant's built-in tool to identify and fix invalid email addresses before the migration:
