Strapi cli exports api tokens and admin users

Questions and Answers

It does say in the docs:

Caution:

  • Admin users and API tokens are not exported.

Its not true. It does export all of that. How can i prevent it being exported?

I can actually see in the code base export command these lines:

      entities: [
        {
          filter(entity) {
            return !DEFAULT_IGNORED_CONTENT_TYPES.includes(entity.type);
          },
        },
      ],

And the ignored types are:

const DEFAULT_IGNORED_CONTENT_TYPES = [
  'admin::permission',
  'admin::user',
  'admin::role',
  'admin::api-token',
  'admin::api-token-permission',
  'admin::transfer-token',
  'admin::transfer-token-permission',
  'admin::audit-log',
];

my export command is:

strapi export --no-encrypt --only content

All the supposed entities in the ignore array are still exported!

turns out that strapi version 4.10.6 did export admin entities and 4.11 does not - if anybody cares

It is better for security reasons. Nice to know they fixed it.

Is this also true for the data transfer command?
