• Delete the existing ACL Rules from the target environment, and then load the exported ACL Rules from the source environment. Updating existing ACL Rules is not supported out-of-the-box.

• Load files for importing ACLs can only be created manually. The utility ACLReport lists the ACLs existing in the source environment into a text file. This list can be used as reference when creating load files for the target environment. For more information, see this article How to load ACL using 'LoadFromFile' in Windchill PDMLink.

• Load files can also mention user groups used in the ACLs. Groups can be referred by the UFID or the name, if the correct format of XML is used.

• Copy the loader at the following path: <rootDir>/configurations/loadFiles/custom/<any subfolder>.

• Add an entry of this load file in the LoadFileSet utility with the desired container.
