Learn how to build a map to exclude accounts or groups from owner or permission preservation.
Table of Contents
Overview
An account or group map exclusion excludes an account or group from owner or permissions preservation. They can be defined during the map's creation or imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file.

If you receive an error when importing a CSV file, the file does not meet the expected format. You will need to edit the file before attempting to import it again. Refer to Mapping Import CSV Guidelines for map templates and sample downloads.
