Nope Vikas, Content porter tool not provides option to choose the staff that are comes under the Administrative part (except User group/ Permission / Associated Workflow) for export/import. Please check the below options if you want to export/import the security and workflow

Can you please explain a bit more. As far as I know if I have Admin privilege over CMS then I do see Administrator section and Groups that can be exported. I have this information that Users and Permissions can not be imported (Curiosity is why?) Nov 19, 2015 at 10:39

Permission and Security you can export/import but other options like Publishing Target, Target Type these things are not accessible from this Tool. Nov 19, 2015 at 10:48

Ok..cool. I guess this is the case. But is this can be achieved using core service scripts? Nov 19, 2015 at 10:51

You can export Group but not their permission settings (on organizational items). SDL Docs lists the following non-exportable items:
- Font definitions
- Protocol Schemas in publishing
- Schemas in publishing (I'm not sure what this means, actually)
- Target types in publishing
- Publication Targets in publishing
- Page and Component publishing status
- Users
- Security settings for Users and Groups
- Permissions for Publications, Folders, and Structure Groups
- Checked-in and checked-out status for Components, Template Building Blocks, Component Templates, Page Templates, Pages, and Schemas
- History list for Components, Template Building Blocks, Component Templates, Page Templates, and Pages
- Approval Status of individual items
SDL Web 8's Topology Manager addresses some of these by moving publication target-specific information out of the Content Manager (and Content Delivery) and into a environment-specific Topology.
Some of the other restrictions come from the fact users might be different and that you might have different authorization requirements between environments.

The DTAP-It solution allows you to export/import Groups. the source code can be adapted to do Users and Publish Targets/Target Types.
The "Publishing Management" Items can't be ported using the client.
I can only export User Groups, Workflow Approval Status and Multimedia Types from Administration.
I am not sure about using the Import/Export API.

True. But I need to look into this by giving only publication Management permission to my team mates, We ll get back. Nov 19, 2015 at 10:53
