## Back up your users and update all team-level users to global users
1. Run the `fleetctl get user_roles > user_roles.yml` command. Save the `user_roles.yml` file so that you can restore user roles if you decide to upgrade later.
2. Head to the **Settings > Users** page in the Fleet UI.
3. For each user that has any team listed under the **Teams** column, select **Actions > Edit**, then select **Global user**, and then **Save**. Delete any users that shouldn't have global access.
## Move all team-level queries to the global level
1. Head to the **Queries** page in the Fleet UI and select a team from the teams dropdown at the top of the page.
2. For each query that belongs to a team, select the query and select **Edit query** and copy the **Name**, **Description**, **Query**. Then expand the "advanced options" and take note of the values in the **Platforms**, **Minimum osquery version**, and **Logging** dropdowns.
3. On the Queries page select **All teams** in the top dropdown, select **Add query**, paste each item in the appropriate field, select the correct values from the advanced options dropdowns, and select **Save**.
4.**Optional:** Delete each query that belongs to a team because they will no longer be accessible in the Fleet UI following the downgrade process.
## Move all team-level policies to the global level
1. Head to the **Policies** page in the Fleet UI.
2. For each policy that belongs to a team, copy the **Name**, **Description**, **Resolve**, and **Query**. Then, select **All teams** in the top dropdown, select **Add a policy**, select **Create your own policy**, paste each item in the appropriate field, and select **Save**.
3. Delete each policy that belongs to a team because they will no longer run on any hosts following the downgrade process.
## Back up your teams
1. Run the `fleetctl get teams > teams.yml` command. Save the `teams.yml` file so you can restore your teams if you upgrade again later.
2. Head to the **Settings > Teams** page in the Fleet UI.
3. Delete all teams. This will move all hosts to the global level.
