# Migrating from Server/Data Center to Cloud

{% hint style="info" %}
Glass is designed to **not store any user data or custom settings in most cases**, therefore the migration to cloud is really simple.
{% endhint %}

### Snapshots <a href="#migratingfromserver-datacentertocloud-glassviewpermission" id="migratingfromserver-datacentertocloud-glassviewpermission"></a>

During cloud migration, project configuration changes a lot (Atlassian renames most schemes, groups, workflow details changes, etc.) Snapshots provide a powerful tool to compare configuration changes. Snapshots created On premise **can not** be imported into the Cloud app, but they **can be** **downloaded** any time **and uploaded** as a reference point in Comparison.

### Glass View Permission <a href="#migratingfromserver-datacentertocloud-glassviewpermission" id="migratingfromserver-datacentertocloud-glassviewpermission"></a>

To set the same permissions to Glass, grant [Glass View Permission ](/glass-documentation/user-guides/administration-guide/2-granting-permission.md)in the expected permission schemes on Cloud as a Jira Administrator.

### Limitations for Glass Cloud <a href="#migratingfromserver-datacentertocloud-limitationsforglasscloud" id="migratingfromserver-datacentertocloud-limitationsforglasscloud"></a>

There are few small limitations on the cloud version, [read more about them here](/glass-documentation/general-product-information/cloud-vs-on-premise.md).
