Impact of migration on users
To migrate email, you need access to the user mailboxes on Google. The users can perform the above activities or can be assisted by an IT person.
If you can't access user mailboxes, you'll have to create application-specific passwords. This provides access to the user mailboxes by using a secondary password.
