    Article summary

    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.
