Archiving and restoring user information

A user archive contains information about all the users and groups for the database. If your database is configured to use the Rational® Directory Server, you cannot use Rational DOORS® to archive users and groups.

About this task

A user archive contains information about all the users and groups for the database.

When you restore a user archive, you replace all the current user information with the information in the archive. If you restore a user list that has been archived from a different database, your Administrator password is overwritten with the Administrator password from the archive.

To create a user archive, you must be a project manager, a database manager, or a custom user who has the power to archive data.

To restore a user archive, you must be the administrator user.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, click Tools > Manage Users.
  2. Click the Archives tab, and select a location to save the user archive, or browse to the user archive that you want to restore.
