Yes there was an option missing, so we've updated the packages for v8 now.
due to some of the internals, we can't calculate the users groups as dependencies on the users, so you have to pick both the users and the groups you want to export, and then when they are imported all the bits will be there.
v8.11.14 of uSync.Complete (which should also update you to v8.11.8 for the main uSync packages).
We need this fix to export current users in our dev environment to a new environment for testing so that's great!
However, raises a question - Basically, I can't upgrade all of our environments to the latest version yet. If I upgrade our base environment but need to create sync packs (content/media + dependencies) with Exporter that are destined for environments that are not yet upgraded is this going to cause any issues?
I think the imports won't work without the fix, the user groups also needed a patch to get the extra bits synced in. so without the update i don't think you will see the new user groups :( .
To clarify I think the users and user groups fixes will not be required yet on our main environments. I'm referring to content/media + dependencies sync packs.
So if I build a content/media etc sync pack on an v8.11.14 environment then use that sync pack to import to an v8.11.13 environment, could this cause any issues?
Basically I'm getting push-back on adding a code change to our next release branch but I can add it to the release after that (and our dev environment). Hence the question
User properties and User Groups not imported/created when importing Users
Hi there
Umbraco 8.18.12
These are the usync versions
Imported content/media etc into a blank Umbraco instance with Exporter all good!
Imported users into same instance. Users imported but their custom UserGroups are not imported.
It seems the UserGroup is in the import
However, it is not created
In addition user properties are not added. This one is missing User Group and start nodes
Hope that's enough info.

Jules
Hi Jules,
apologies again for the delay, i missed this one.

Yeah that will be fine, the format is all the same, so that will work fine.
Hi Kevin
Thanks for confirming.
Just ran the upgrade and it definitely worked as I an seeing the User Groups option in Exporter now.
However, it didn't seem to update the ui.
Just letting you know.
Jules
Oh i hate it when that happens, 😔 - its all automatic since v9 and i forget.
😂 sorry :(
JTLYK - user and user group import working fine now.
Cheers
