Introduction
On Demand Migration Self-Service (ODMSS) is a powerful and easy to use service that helps end users schedule and manage their own asset migrations. This feature is optional and requires the Migration Administrators to configure the service.
ODMSS Device Migration enables end users to schedule their own device migrations between source and target tenants that use the same directory systems like Active Directory and EntraID, or hybrids where one is an on-premise and the other is a cloud tenant.
Migration admins can choose to enable the self-service scheduling option for end user devices and can customize it to accommodate different business needs:
- Configure the date range and time slots that end-users can select for self-scheduling
- Create custom email notifications to send before, during, and after migration
- Control end-user access to the self-service portal using RBAC for Entra groups
- Allow users to migrate their devices on demand
For more information see the On Demand Migration Self-Service Device Migration User Guide.

Preconfigure self-service cutover settings
When you select Profiles from the hamburger menu in On Demand Migration for Active Directory, you will see a new section for creating Self Service profiles.
Create a new profile and preconfigure the options that should be used during device cutover. The configuration wizard will include additional options based on the type of target environment and cutover action selected. You can create multiple profiles with different options.
- Target AD environment with default or custom Cutover action that is not ODJ
- Select Migration Profile, Credential Profile, and Network Profile
- Target AD environment with default or custom Offline Domain Join action
- Select Cutover Credential profile
- Target Entra environment with default or custom Microsoft Entra ID Cutover action
- Select Microsoft Entra Join profile
Configure devices for self-service portal
When viewing devices in the Ready Devices table, you will see a new option in the Action dropdown named Set Self Service Profile. Select one or more devices in the table, apply this action, and then select the profile you want to assign to the selected devices.
This will set the Self Service Enabled column to True in the ODMAD UI and the device will become available in the self-service portal. The Self Service Status will also display the cutover readiness, which checks whether a ReACL has completed successfully and whether a self-service profile has been assigned.

TIP: Configure an Interactive Client Profile to provide the end-user with additional visibility and control over their device migration. |

|
NOTE: Once you assign a self-service profile, the device cutover must be performed from the self-service portal using the scheduler or by selecting the Migrate Now option; you will still be able to perform all non-cutover actions from the Ready Devices table in ODMAD. |
