 Description   

The popup-menu in the security panels (i.e. users, groups, and roles panels) doesn't offer exporting the data to an xml file. However, the mgl-export servlet takes mgnlRepository=users as argument without producing errors. And when I look at the xml file, it seems to list the user data. So how would I "play it back" when I need to recover the system? What is the reasoning behind not having it in the menu? Is there a different model for backup & recovery of security data?

You can use the import servlet directly to recover the data or you can bootstrap the system by placing the user data to the WEB-INF/bootstrap directories when you start magnolia with an empty repository.

The export is missed in the context menu without any reason!

We should add this facility.

We're closing this issue as outdated as it was reported for 4.4.x or earlier versions which are no longer supported. Don't hesitate to reopen or create a new ticket in case this is still relevant and you'll experience it on 4.5.x or later versions.
