How to migrate user permissions of a file server in azure?

Question

Hello,

I have the following scenario, from an onpremise file server I migrated to azure all the folders to a virtual machine, now I need to replicate the permissions of each user to each of the migrated folders. Is there a power shell script for this task?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

there are few way you can reach your goal:

Using Storage Explorer with Azure Files

Use Azure File Sync to synchronize files from an on-premise server to Azure Files. Then recreate the shares in Azure with the synchronizing files, change the GPOs as appropriate.

Deploy Azure File Sync

Get started with AzCopy

Enable Azure Active Directory Domain Services authentication on Azure Files
