Purpose

Export menu security settings.
Import menu security settings.

Overview

Use Import/Export Menu Security Settings to export menu security settings to an XML file, or to import menu security settings from a previously exported XML file. Exporting and importing security settings allows you to migrate security between two systems instead of manually entering security settings.

If you upgraded from a previous version of Apprise, you can export the previous security settings, and then import those settings.

Exporting Menu Security Settings

To export menu security settings:

If you want to export menu security settings from a previous version of Apprise (after upgrading from that version), select the Legacy Export radio button. Otherwise, leave the Export radio button selected.
Enter the path and file name to which you want to export security settings in the File Name field.
Click the Export button in the ribbon. The security settings file is exported to the specified location.

Importing Menu Security Settings

To import menu security settings:

Click the Import radio button, or if you want to import menu security settings from a previous version of Apprise, select the Legacy Import radio button.
Enter the path and file name of the file from which you want to import security settings in the File Name field.
If you want to overwrite group security settings, select the Overwrite Group Settings check box.
