Well.. the work around i have for faster migration from 4.5 to 4.7 is to export all the realms using  standalone.sh -Dkeycloak.migration.action=export -Dkeycloak.migration.provider=dir -Dkeycloak.migration.dir=/home/centos/keycloak-export -Dkeycloak.migration.usersExportStrategy=SAME_FILE -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000 -c standalone-ha.xml And then, set up keycloak 4.7 from scratch (with a fresh database)and import the data to the new database using sudo ./bin/standalone.sh -Dkeycloak.migration.action=import -Dkeycloak.migration.provider=dir -Dkeycloak.migration.dir=/home/centos/keycloak-export  -Dkeycloak.migration.usersExportStrategy=SAME_FILE -Dkeycloak.migration.strategy=OVERWRITE_EXISTING -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000 -c standalone-ha.xml This way i am manging to avoid the huge time taken with  "[org.keycloak.migration.migrators.MigrateTo4_6_0]" Regards,Madhu On Wednesday, 12 December, 2018, 7:28:49 PM IST, Madhu <kkcmadhu(a)yahoo.com&gt; wrote: is there a way to import/export users alone in keycloak "bin/standalone.sh -Dkeycloak.migration.action=export -Dkeycloak.migration.provider=dir -Dkeycloak.migration.dir=<DIR TO EXPORT TO>" seems to export the entire realm, i am interested in importing users info alone (i.e user, user attribute, user role mapping, user user group association) any suggestions?
