Copy a security group

You can use an existing security group as a template and copy the rights and permissions to another group.

Warning: Copying a group does not copy its users, superior groups, or subordinate groups. This means that inherited rights are not copied over. Copy a group with caution as it cannot be undone.

Before you begin

Before copying a group, make sure both groups exist as their own records. See Create a group.

Steps

  1. Go to Tools > System Maintenance > Security Tool.

  2. Click Copy Group.

  3. In the Security - Copy Group window, in Source Group, select the group you want to copy from.

  4. In Copy Into, select the group you want to copy into.

  5. Click Copy.
