 ## Precreate users and groups on the target tenant
 
 1. Precreate users and groups as needed in the target tenant’s directory.
 2. All users whose OneDrive accounts are migrating to the target tenant must have new user identities created for them in the target tenant.
 3. All users whose OneDrive accounts are migrating to the target tenant must be assigned the appropriate OneDrive license.
 4. Any users who remain in the source tenant but need access to resources migrating to the target tenant should have new guest identities created for them in the target tenant.
-5. Precreated users must be added as members of any appropriate security groups or unified groups before the OneDrive migration begins. 
+5. Precreated users must be added as members of any appropriate security groups or unified groups before the OneDrive migration begins.
 6. If the user or group name already exists in the target tenant, create a user or group with a different name and make a note of it for the next step.
 7. We recommend that OneDrive site creations are restricted in the target tenant to prevent users from creating OneDrive sites.
