Copying User Sign-in Security

A user profile must already exist for a user before you can create user security records for that user. In addition, when you copy security records to a user, security records must not already exist for that user. If you try to copy user security to a user with existing user security records, you will receive an error message.

Note: You should create a model user with security information that you can copy to create other users. Typically, users within a specific role use similar security information.

Access the Work With User Security form.

To copy user security:

  1. On the Work With User Security form, find the user, and then perform one of these actions:

    • To copy all user security records for a user or role, select the user or role in the tree structure, and click Copy.

    • To copy a single user security record for a user or role, select the security record row in the detail area, and select Copy Record from the Row menu.

  2. On the Copy User Records form, enter a valid user ID in the To User / Role field and click OK.
