Cloud to Cloud Migration - User migration

[Katherine Lord]

We have a cloud to cloud migration due to acquisition:

• site.companyA.atlassian.net
• site.companyB.atlassian.net

Users emails are *@companyA.com and *@companyB.com

We now have some *@companyB.com emails (user) in site.companyA.atlassian.net and these users are unique (ie the user does not have a *@companyA.com email address) or duplicate as they have both *@companyA.com and *@companyB.com accounts now unfortunately.

Both domains are enabled on both sites.

Question - should I go ahead and

1. Remove the duplicate accounts under @companyB.com and move any of they data to their @companyA.com user thus preserving user data
2. Then update all the user accounts on site.companyA.atlassian.net to only use their new emails and thus retire the @companyA.com on both and remove the domain.  Therefore forcing everyone to use their new emails for @companyB.com
3. How do I handle inactive, deactivated user account on site.companyA.atlassian.net -  do we update their emails to a *@companyB.com email?

Hello @Katherine Lord

My suggestion are based on how many domains you want have in your destination site.

If will you use both domain in same destination site, you can ask for Atlassian to update all owner date in jira and confluence from an account A to B for the users with duplicated account, and deactivate the old one, for they have only one active account in use.

If you want use only one domain in a destination site, you could replace de email domain in users in origem site (A), before the migration.

You could use this article for that:

I hope help you,
