Copying an Existing User

Use the Copy button when a new user should start with the same profile structure or permissions as an existing user.

The controls you see depend on your CMS permissions. Users with restricted permissions may not be able to access all features.

To copy an existing user:

  1. Open the User Manager from the System accordion.
  2. Find the user you want to clone on the Users tab.
  3. Click the user's Copy button.
  4. Update the copied user's profile fields.
  5. Click Save.

Copying a user is useful when two users need similar access. It can save time compared with building permissions from scratch.

Before saving the copied user, review the User Profile, System Permissions, and Page Permissions tabs. Update any permissions that should be different for the new user.
