Sure.  They already exist as text -

Users - /etc/passwd
Groups /etc/groups

You'll notice that the unique ids of the users correspond to the entries
in the group file.

This *won't* have the passwords, but if you need to keep their passwords,
I think we'll need to know more.  Passwords are no longer kept in
/etc/passwd since it's a security risk.  If you don't, then those files
should contain what you need.
