What is Migration App?

Migration App allows domain admins to easily migrate data from On-Premises sources to Egnyte. The user should be able to access the source data from the on-premise host machine on a single Active Directory network and map it to a network drive.

How Do I Know if My Domain Already Has Access?

  1. Click on the App picker menu and select  Migration.

    By default, Power Users cannot see Migration in this menu. However, admins can contact Egnyte support to get it enabled for them. Migration app needs to self-enabled by an admin before the feature can be requested for power users. Additional details on self-enablement are provided below.

  2. This will re-redirect the user to the Migration Landing Page.
    For any domain that already has access to Migration App, domain admins will see a version of the Migration Landing Page with two blue buttons for On-Prem Migration. Clicking either button will take them to the Migration Dashboard.

    If a user can see these buttons, then Migration App is enabled on the domain.

Requesting Enablement

For domains that have not yet been granted access to Migration App, the Landing Page looks much the same, but instead of the blue buttons, there is a single button called Request Enablement for My Domain.

Power users do not have the capability of self-enablement of the Migration App.

Below is the Landing Page view before having access to Migration App:

  3. Respond to every question and click Submit. Following actions will occur as an outcome:
    • A confirmation dialog box will be displayed with a link to the Migration Dashboard. 
    • The user will receive a confirmation email with all the information provided in the wizard, including links to the documentation and the Terms of Use.
    • Any domain admin who accesses the Migration Landing Page will now see the blue On-Premises Migration buttons.
