# Security Realm: Migration: Import

Configuration Options Related Tasks Related Topics

A security provider database contains the users, groups, security policies, security roles, and credentials used by some types of security providers to provide security services. For example: an Authentication provider requires information about users and groups; an Authorization provider requires information about security policies; a Role Mapping provider requires information about security roles, and a Credential Mapping provider requires information about credentials. These security providers need this information to be available in a database in order to function properly.

Import data into the security provider database of each security provider configured in this security realm.

#### Configuration Options
