Administrators may notice that when a user is copied from one Project Source to another, the user profile folder is not copied over. This is by design. Users' profile folders are project specific, unlike users, which are system wide objects.
Before a user's profile can be created within a project, the user object must already exist in the project source. To accomplish this, copy the user between project sources using Strategy Object Manager. If a user exists in Project Source A and does not exist in Project Source B, then Strategy Object Manager can be used to migrate the user object by dragging the user in the User Manager from one project source to the other.
Once the migration process is complete, the user's profile will be created for every project listed in the destination project source that the user was copied to and the link between user and profile will be valid. Although profiles are created in projects during user migration, the original contents from these profiles are not copied over.
After the profiles have been created, Strategy Object Manager can be used to copy profile contents from one project to another.
NOTE:
There are instances where user objects exist in the User Manager but no profile is listed for that user. If such an instance occurs, either of the following two options can be performed to re-establish profiles:
