Hi Carl, All the groups and permissions are stored in the portal database, so you would either have to re-enter them or run some SQL queries to extract them from your test database and move them into production. In the UP_PERM table, all the HyperContent permissions have an OWNER that starts with "CMS_PROJECT::". It could get sticky moving the groups over, since you need the group keys to match the PRINCIPAL fields in the permissions table, but if those groups do not already exist in production, those keys may already be taken (they are generated by a simple number sequence). This is changing in 2.0, where groups and permissions will be stored in XML files in your project repository, making portability much easier. Unfortunately, there's no automated conversion routine for groups and permissions from 1.x to 2.0 - for now we're anticipating a manual conversion. 2.0 also adds an "approve" permission which is required to set the current edition of a file.
