What Confluence data is copied and what isn’t

✅ Data that can be copied

Users and groups

✅ Users and groups

❌ Any permissions settings (space or page) associated with groups will be lost during import unless a group with the same name already exists in the destination site.

To maintain your groups' permissions settings, make sure all your groups have a corresponding group with the same name that already exists in the destination site before importing the space. An easy way to do this is to first import users and groups, then import any spaces.
