Hi Suraj,

Try the below script in anonymous window on developer on and let me know if there is any error:
  
Id ProfileX = '00e0K000001kzB4';  // user
Id ProfileY = '00e28000000HnvN';
List<user> users = [Select Id, ProfileId from user where ProfileId = : ProfileX];
for(user u : users)
{
	u.ProfileId = ProfileY;
}
try{
	update users;
    system.debug(' === Success === ');
}
catch(Exception ex){
	system.debug( ' Exception ==> ' + ex.getMessage() );
}


Thanks,

Hi Suraj,

This is possible by exposing Metadata API, (give it a try)

Check the link (will give some inputs)

Hi Sucharita,
Thanks for your reply. I have two profiles lets say x and y. I want to move all the users of profile x to profile y. How can it be achieved with the help of profile IDs.?

Hi Maharajan.C

Thanks for your help but I want to move multiple or all users of one profile to other not just single. How that can be done?

The code will work for multiple users.  But for single profile transfer ( one profile to another profule) .

ProfileX  ==>  from profile Id.
ProfileY  ==> To profile Id

Hi Maharajan C, 

Thanks for your help. Now I am trying to rename the the profile using following code but getting DML exception. Following is my code.


Id ProfileX = '00e0K000001kzB4';  // profile id of profile to Rename
String ProfileName = 'Y';  
Profile Prof = [Select Name from Profile where Id = : ProfileX];
    
Prof.Name = ProfileName ;

try{
    update Prof;
    system.debug(' === Success === ');
}
catch(Exception ex){
    system.debug( ' Exception ==> ' + ex.getMessage() );
}



Thanks,
Suraj
