Hi Denodo Team Could you tell me does the configuration store in metadata database or properties file when i add a new group in role management. I deployed denodo on k8s and using external metada database now. I was thought the data will be store into metada database when i add some value in role management. but the settings are vanished after pod restart. so could you tell me which file store setting about role management. i will put that properties file into configmap.

Hi, In general, the Roles Management are stored as part of the Metadata of the Embedded VDP. Hence, when you enabled the External metadata database of Solution Manager it does not include configurations of the Embedded Virtual DataPort. By default, Embedded Virtual DataPort metadata are store under the <SOLUTION_MANGER>\metadata\db. In case, if you want to take backup of local users and roles from Embedded Virtual DataPort, then you could perform the below steps, * Use the Design Studio or Administration tool to connect to the embedded Virtual DataPort Server of Solution Manager, typically, the URL would like below as admin > //<SOLUTION_MANAGER_HOST>:19999/admin. * Navigate to File> Export. In the Exported VQL, you can view user and role details. Alternatively, you could also use the export script located at <SOLUTION_MANAGER_HOME>\bin as similar as below, >export.bat/sh --login <login> --password <password> --server //<SOLUTION_MANAGER_HOST>:19999/admin --file <file_name> For more information, you could refer to the [Export Script](https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/latest/en/vdp/administration/cluster_architectures_server_backup/using_the_import_export_scripts_for_backup_and_or_replication/export_script) section of the Virtual DataPort Administration Guide. Hope this helps!

Hi, In Solution Manager, when you configure an external database for storing metadata, the role/user information is not stored in that external database, but stored in the embedded Derby database, which is the expected behavior of the Denodo Platform. You could find a similar question answered in this community [**Q&A**](https://community.denodo.com/answers/question/details?questionId=9064u000000L8ajAAC&title=Question+about+external+database). Hope this helps!
