How do you migrate users from another system into Drupal?

Answer: To migrate users from another system into Drupal, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Data: Export user data from the source system in a compatible format (CSV, JSON, etc.).

2. Install Modules: Enable the Migrate module in Drupal and related modules like Migrate Plus and Migrate Tools.

3. Create Migration Configuration: Define a migration configuration in YAML format, specifying source, destination (user entity), and any mapping between fields.

4. Run the Migration: Use Drush (command line) or the UI to execute the migration process.

5. Verify: After the migration, check user accounts to ensure data integrity and correct mappings.

6. Clean Up: Remove any temporary files and confirm successful migration. Adjust permissions as needed.

This process can vary depending on the source system and the complexity of user data.
