Step 5: Map identities of Google Drive to Microsoft 365 accounts

Identity mapping is the process of matching domain, user, and group identities in the source to identities in Microsoft 365. This process is important to migration. If identities aren't properly set up before migration, users might lose access to content, and file metadata might be incorrect at the destination.

To map your identities, select Map identities from the menu bar on the Drive migrations tab.

Automap

By default, Migration Manager automaps the identities for you based on the exact match of identity names between the source and the destination.

In most cases, automapping is unlikely to map all the identities. You can manually edit individual identities or import identities.

Edit individual identities

To edit a single mapping discovered in the automapping process:

1. Highlight the row to activate the mapping panel.
2. Enter the equivalent Microsoft 365 domain, user, or group.
3. Select Save.

Import identities

If you want to add one single user mapping or group mapping:

1. Select the Import users and groups button from the menu bar to activate the importing panel.
2. Choose Single user mapping or Single group mapping.
3. Enter the user or group in both the source and destination text boxes.
4. Select Save.

If you have many mappings to edit:

1. Select the Import users and groups button from the menu bar to activate the importing panel.
2. Choose Batch upload.
3. Download the CSV template. Add to or modify the Microsoft 365 identity column, and then save the file as a .csv file.
4. Choose Select file to upload the file.
5. Select Save.
