import Manage Users from a nagiosxi server to another server

I am trying to build another nagiosxi server to reduce the load on the current server. I am unable to import Manager Users from one server to another. I was able to import the contacts.cfg but the users don't show up the nagiosxi "Manage Users" list.
The users are AD users. I have LDAP/AD integration enabled on both.
Any help is appreciated.

If you follow the
Nagios XI backup and restore documentation, it will copy everything over, including users. From there, you could delete the things you don't want. Would that approach possibly be easier than starting from the beginning?

How to query to get only the manage users from the current database? The rest of the services and hosts. etc.. is already imported from the *.cfg files.

There's not really a 'clean' way to just get the users. The users have information from multiple tables, some of which may have unique information that is already tied to your XI server. Modifying the database directly is not recommended either - you easily break things. The best way to do this is going to do a backup and restore.
