Bulk Loading Users from One XI Server to Another

We have a new Nagios XI server and I would like to create all of the users that I have on my current server in the new server. It's very tedious to do this manually when we have well over 100 users.

I know the users are stored in the PostgreSQL database. Is there any way to safely copy them from one server to another? I don't believe any of the configuration (*.cfg) files would accomplish this.

Thanks.

This has been brought up in the past, and we don't have an official/documented way to do this. One of the threads you might find useful:

I brought it up to the developers and they did not see anything wrong with that procedure, but it has not been tested and is not guaranteed to work.
