Description

Sometimes a group might not be migrated from local to SAML backend, because a relevant user did not login or because there were some undiscovered issues (e.g. mixed groups). Hence it would be useful to trigger a migration via occ command.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing local-to-SAML group migration logic and the app's occ command entry points. Trace how groups are migrated during login, then define a command that invokes that migration for a selected group and verify behavior for groups with mixed memberships or undiscovered migration issues.
