Exporting user permissions?

Question

Does anyone know of any way to export user and role permissions, and then re-import them on another copy of Sitecore?

I've had a search around, and bar writing a bit of code to do this, doesn't appear to be anything immediately available ...

Answer 1

The permissions are actually stored on the items themselves, not the Role or User objects. There are two ways to export the object like Stephen mentioned, perform the export/import on the item you granted/revoked access to, not the role or user.
