Import Site

Imports a web, list, or library.

Automation Manager Policies that use SharePoint objects may require using PowerShell Remoting. As a result of this, if the remote computer is in a Workgroup but not connected to a Domain, the Policy will only function properly if it is run by the Administrator account of the remote computer. Attempting to run such a Policy using an account with administrative privileges but that is not the Administrator account will cause the Policy to fail.
