Copy users between releases

Question

Hello,
I know that this is not supported using SCC8, but is there any other way to do this in a good way?
We want to copy only the username and password and personal settings from our old NW 2004s to our new NW 701.
No roles or groups should be included since a new authorization koncept will be used.
I have recieved the following suggestions for tables to be exported:
AGR_DATEU     Personal settings for roles
SMEN_BUFFC     Table for Storing Favorites
SMEN_BUFFI     Links for Favorites
USR02     Logon Data (Kernel-Side Use)
Does anyone have any other idea or comments to this? If anyone have done somthing similar I'm very intressted to know.
Thanks and Best regards
Tomas

Steven,
just came across the same problem. I found it hard to believe that there would be no standard transacton to do this.... but there is!
Use SU10 to copy roles from a "promoted" reference user.
Here is how it works:
1) start TC SU10
2) enter the user(s) you would like to change in the list
3) click on the change button (shift-F6)
4) select the roles tab (note the ADD radio button is highlighted by default, so additional roles are added)
5) enter the user name to copy role assignments from in the field next to: "Reference user for additional rights"
6) check the change box
7) press enter
8) you may get a warning message, press enter again (this is the "promotion" - )
9) click the SAVE button
10) you should get a warning that user accounts will change, confirm
11) after this you should see a summary of changes
12) Done!
You can use  TC: S_BCE_68001430 to compare assigned authorizations between the two users just to double-check, if you find discrepancies, double-click on the object, the expance Val.Combination1 and Authoriz. to see where differences come from
Note that Report TC: RSSCD100_PFCG_USER - Change Documents For Role Assignment apparently does not pick up mass changes from SU10
Hope it helps.

Matt
