pw user export

The pw user export command exports user information (for a specified set of users) in XML format. If you run the command, and it succeeds, the information is stored by default in the pw/pronto/conf/userdata.xml file.
 The syntax for this command is as follows:

pw user export -user  <user_name1> [, <user_name2> ......... ,
<user_name n>] [-exportugr ][- file <filename>[-replace]]
pw user export  all [-exportugr ] [- file <filename>[-replace]]
pw user export -f <filter option> [-f  <filter option2> -f  <filter option3> -f <filter option4> ] [-exportugr ] [- file <filename>
[-replace]]
  • -file <filename> — Exports user information to the file you specify. If you do not use the -file option, the user information is stored in pw/pronto/conf/ userdata.xml by default. 
  • -replace — Overwrites the file you specified with the -file option, if it already exists. 
  • -f — Enables you to specify a particular filter. Only the users matching the filter criteria are exported. 
  • filter option — where the <filter option> can have the following value: 
  • userclass = admin | user 
  • status = enabled | disabled 
  • usergroup| role = <available user group name or available role name>. Exact name of the user group or role must be specified. 

  • -exportugr (Optional) — To export user groups and roles information associated with the list of users exported.
