I am using the ArcGIS API for Python to clone users, groups, and content from one portal to another (both on-premise, Portal for ArcGIS). When running the script below, I am only given public groups, rather than all groups in the source portal. I figured that administrative privileges would allow me to see every single group, but I can't.
Am I missing a parameter to clone private groups?
# filter out system created groups
source_groups = source.groups.search("!owner:esri_* & !Basemaps")
source_groups
This step is outlined here: clone_portal_users_groups_and_content | ArcGIS for Developers
