Ran export of tenant settings using cli command

> a0deploy export -c config.json -f yaml -o path/to/export

now I tried to import using command

> a0deploy import -c=config.json --input\_file local/tenant.yaml

Which was successful but when I tried to check users under user management and social connection under Authentication , I was surprised to find all users are missing and also social connection for azure AD!, is this expected? If yes, should I export users and keep it ready before importing tenant settings?
