What is meant by Server Migration with Directory Permission Retention?
The term "server migration with directory permission retention" refers to the process of switching servers while preserving all existing directory permissions (permissions that grant users and groups access to specific folders and files). This ensures that after the server migration, the same access rights remain intact, allowing users to continue utilizing necessary resources without manual adjustments.
Typical software functions in the area of "server migration with directory permission retention":
- Automated Rights Transfer: Automatically migrating directory permissions during the server change to avoid manual errors.
- User and Group Migration: Transferring user accounts and associated group permissions to the new server.
- Permission Verification: Automatically checking the transferred permissions to ensure they have been correctly migrated.
- Backup and Restore: Creating backups of directory permissions before the server migration to prevent data loss or misconfigurations.
- Reporting: Generating detailed reports on the migrated permissions and any changes during the process.
- Role-Based Access Control: Ensuring that role-specific permissions for users are retained after the migration.
- Logging and Auditing: Documenting the entire migration process to track who has what permissions and if any changes were made.
