Ensuring that users migrate applications with a pipeline by restricting the Import wizard

You can restrict access to the Import wizard so that users migrate applications between environments by using a deployment pipeline instead of by importing applications through the wizard. By creating a deployment pipeline, you can use a standardized process to migrate applications.

You can use Deployment Manager as one method for creating pipelines. For more information, see Understanding model-driven DevOps with Deployment Manager.
