Prerequisites

Before migrating from Jira Server/Data Center to Jira Cloud

To perform migrations to the cloud, install Cloud Migration Tool on your Jira Server or Data Center instance and Configuration Manager on your Jira Cloud site.

Prerequisites

• Jira Server/Data Center must have access to Appfire resources to connect to the Jira Cloud site. If internet access is restricted, ensure connectivity to our Cloud API and file storage is permitted.

• You need Jira System Administrators permissions on Jira Server/Data Center and Jira Cloud.

• You need Site or Organization admin permissions on the Jira Cloud site to create connections and perform migrations. This means that the user you use to create a connection to Jira Cloud must be added to the site-admins or org-admins group on the Jira Cloud site. Learn more about creating connections to Jira Cloud sites.
  You can also learn more about the administrative roles in Atlassian’s documentation.

• You need to have the Service project agent permission on the Jira Cloud site if you want to migrate Jira Service Management (JSM) configurations.
