{% hint style="danger" %}
It is not recommended to transfer permissions within Movebot as it is difficult to properly map permissions between disparate systems
{% endhint %}

## Description

Permissions Mapping Incomplete error means that not all of your permissions were able to be translated into a format usable at the destination. 

{% hint style="info" %}
During the scan stage of a migration (the first step), Movebot will attempt to map all of your permissions, so they are ready for transferring based on the permission mapping rules you provided
{% endhint %}

## Common Root Causes

* There is a unique or uncommon permission on the file/folder that cannot be properly translated
* There is a missing mapping for the permissions on the file

## Quick Fixes

* Provide a mapping for a username, email address or group to inherit the permission from 
* Exclude unmapped permissions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.movebot.io/troubleshooting/errors-and-failures/common-errors/error-permissions-mapping-incomplete.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
