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.
