Copying a user

A user created by copying an existing user has the same role assignments and language fluency skills as the original user, but the new user does not have the same personal information and has an inactive status. You must provide a new user name and password for the new user. After you copy a user, you can modify the information of the new user.

Consider copying a user if you need to create multiple users who will perform the same kinds of activities as an existing user.

1. Click the Users button.
2. Right-click in the Users view, and select Copy User, or press Ctrl+C.

   The Copy User dialog box appears.

3. Fill in the fields in the dialog box, and click OK.

   The new user appears in the Users list, and the user properties appear in the workspace. The yellow status icon indicates that the user is inactive.
