MatthewD.74426 (Customer) asked a question.
Is there a way to migrate the users in one organization into another that retains the user ids?
We're looking to reconfigure our organization structure to support data residency which potentially means moving users from one org to another - and ideally we want to do this without having to update application data to reference new Okta user ids.
Is that possible?
Thanks
Matt

You can suggest a feature enhancement on the Okta Community page by going to the Community→ Ideas tab.

The October issue of the Okta Community is here and packed with tips on certification, how to earn badges, and new releases. Let us help you stay connected.
if there is not a Feature to support this, does OKTA offer any Professional Services support to move OKTA organization data from One OKTA organization in say US cluster to another OKTA org say EU/Dublin. Again we Don't want to have our users have to setup all new user account in this nw OKTA as we audit off the OKTA UID and that would change.
Can we escalate to see if there are other OKTA options to do what we have to do and who do we escalate to
Thanks
Hi @lo7r6 (lo7r6) - That would be something that needs to be discussed with your Okta Customer Success Manager or Account Executive directly and they'll be able to clarify.
If you do not have their contact information, please open a case and one of our Support Engineers will put you in touch.
