# Provider migration

This tool links users from one authentication provider to another, ensuring a smooth transition without losing any user data.

This guide demonstrates creating a migration from an **OIDC provider** with Google OAuth flow to **Openfort Google provider**. This is useful for migrating users from a custom OIDC provider to Openfort's Google provider.

## Creating a migration

1. Enable both your source and destination providers in the Openfort dashboard.
   You can do this in the [Providers](https://dashboard.openfort.io/providers) section of your Openfort dashboard.

2. Start by going to the [Migration page](https://dashboard.openfort.io/players/auth/migrations) in your Openfort dashboard and create a new one.

3. Select the source and destination providers, and add the matching criteria for the users you want to migrate.

   </div>

4. Do the same for the destination provider.

5. Click on **Create migration**.

6. Start the migration by clicking **Start migration**, next to **Ready to start**.

   </div>

7. When a user logs in with **Openfort Google provider**, they are automatically linked to their OIDC account.

When all users are migrated, mark the migration as complete by clicking **Mark as complete**.
