Can you move users from one tenant to another?

dan

Is there a way to move a user from one tenant to another? Or do we have to delete and re-import?

dan

No, a user cannot be moved between tenants in the admin user interface. You could do this via the API with a retrieve and a create in a small program, though.

How do you retrieve the whole user with password and other information? Is there any api available for the same?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, there's no way to extract the password and the other information via the APIs.

Options I could see working:

if you have developer edition (or other paid edition), you could set up a connector from FusionAuth to itself (via a generic http connector). This would take time to move the users to a different tenant.
you can get a database dump of your FusionAuth instance and run a bulk import of the user data, password, and other password settings into another tenant.
you could move over the users, set a random password and force them to change their password by setting passwordChangeRequired. Not sure that would definitely work; you should test this.

Hope this helps.

@dan Could a rule be set up such that if an already-provisioned user (e.g. johndoe@abc.com) from tenant A which logs into tenant B can perform a custom backend query that finds that user on tenant A, automatically lazy-import them into B, and finally provide successful login?

I wish to use multitenancy for custom login experience across tenants, but I don't necessarily care that the credentials for that email address are different.
