Creation of Roles for Existing Users

When upgrading an existing project using the migration tool, a new role will be created (if needed) for every existing user. The new role will have the same security settings that were defined for that user and be given a generic name such as Role_1, Role_2 etc. During the upgrade process, if a role exists with the same security settings as the user, then the existing role will be assigned to the user being upgraded. For example; If Role_1 exists and matches the security settings of the upgraded user then that user will be assigned Role_1 also.

If you do not want to migrate users from an existing project clear the option Create Roles from User security information from the migration tool dialog before running it.
