Copying security groups

To add a security group with similar privileges to an existing security group, you can copy the existing security group and then change the privileges as needed.

About this task

When you copy a security group, all the information is copied from the existing security group to the new security group record, except the users. The new security group has no users in it.

Procedure

  1. In the Security Groups application, select the group that you want to copy.
  2. From the Select Action menu, choose Duplicate Group.
  3. Provide a name for the new group.
  4. Optional: Provide a description for the new group.
  5. Optional: Change the group privileges as needed for the new group.
  6. Save your changes.

What to do next

Before you add users to the security group, you must be authorized to reassign users to that group. Use the Authorize Group Reassignment action in the Security Groups application or the Users application to grant this authorization.
