{% 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
