Prerequisites
You have site collection admin permissions on your source site collection(s).
You have site collection admin permissions on your destination site collections if you want to merge your source site collection or copy other site objects into an existing site collection.
You have term store admin permissions on your source and destination if you have managed metadata (Terms, Term sets, Term set groups) in your migration scope.
Note: Site collection admin permissions are required even if you have higher admin privileges like SharePoint admin or global admin permissions. For more information, see Microsoft administrative permissions.
