Thanks. That helps a lot. I can copy individual rows from the users 
table and that way I can move each user to their corresponding academy.

It's extra work, but what matters is that it's doable. Excellent.


I hope I can do something similar with the content. I guess I need to 
make a list of tables with content (e.g. node, node_revisions, etc).

Thanks. That could be useful.

Yeah, but I still have to run the installer, login as admin, and 
re-configure everything. Right? Or am I missing something?
