Why Copy Users
You can copy an existing (i.e., source) user, along with all associated permissions and roles, to a target user. This is an easy way to give a new user the same permissions as an existing user.Permissions and Roles That Can Be Copied
Dimension security
Navigation Role
Scenario Access
Data Integration Security
Analytics Security
Approval Role
Report Access
Excel Add-In security
All Consolidation related security permissions
User Groups, whereby all user groups the source user belongs to will be copied to the target user
Note:
Copying user permissions and roles overwrites all existing permissions for the target user, so proceed with caution.
