Copy Jira Service Management customers and organizations
The capability to move Jira Service Management data from one instance of your Jira Cloud to another is only available to customers who’ve signed up for our Early Access Program (EAP).
Customers in cloud have a single portal-only customer account tied to their email address that they can use to access your Jira Service Management help center. This means when we move customers when you copy Jira Service Management data, we don’t have to create new customer accounts in another instance of your Jira product. Instead, we link all data and activity associated with a customer to their existing portal-only account. Learn more about service project customers and organizations
Copy customers
You can opt to copy:
Only customers related to the selected projects, or
All customers
Only customers related to the selected projects
Selecting this option means the following data are copied to the destination instance of your Jira:
customers referenced in standard and custom field
user-generated content
workflows and permissions
All customers
Selecting this option means the following data are moved to the destination instance of your Jira:
all active and inactive customers
content associated with deleted customers
Some customers may have different account types on the source and destination while using the same email addresses. This may cause issues in their requests and permissions once the migration is complete. Refer to your post-migration report to see affected customers and solutions. Learn more about moving customers with mismatched account types
Copy customer organizations
Only customer organizations that are related to the selected Jira Service Management projects are copied to the destination instance of your Jira.
When you copy data multiple times from the same source instance to the same destination instance, we won’t move all your customers and customer organizations again. Instead, we’ll only copy any new customers and organizations that have been added to the source instance since the last migration.
If you have customer organizations with the same names existing on both source and destination instances of Jira Service Management in which the customers within the organizations are different, it will cause an error. Learn about removing duplicate customer organizations from migration
Notify customers
Customers won’t get an email notification when they’re copied to another instance of Jira. When you’re ready, you can invite new customers by going to your Jira Service Management project’s Customers page from your destination instance of Jira. Alternatively, you can also give existing customers a link to the help center on the destination instance and they’ll be able to log in directly.
