Groups - Cloning

This article is for Site Admins. Additionally, a user with File admin privileges & User admin privileges can see this tab. A member of both groups can manage user and file access, but only for the specific groups they oversee.

 

Cloning a group’s members and folder access: 

To create a duplicate of an existing Access Group with the same members and folder permissions, select the desired group from the list, check the box next to it, and click the Clone button:



Enter a unique name for the new group, then choose whether to enable or disable the “Clone the access” and “Clone the members” options. Once your selections are made, click “Save” to create the cloned group:

When cloning an Access Group, you can choose to duplicate both the group’s members and folder access permissions, or just one of these elements: 

  • If both "Clone the access" and "Clone the members" options are enabled, the new group will have the same members and folder permissions as the original group. 
  • If only "Clone the access" is enabled, the cloned group will retain the same folder permissions, but you’ll need to add members manually under the Members tab. 
  • If only "Clone the members" is enabled, the group’s members will be duplicated, but you’ll need to add folder permissions under the Access tab. 
  • If neither option is enabled, an error message will appear when you attempt to save the cloned group. 

Note: The Group Manager from the original group will be added as a regular member in the cloned group. You will need to assign a new Group Manager (this can be the same member if desired).
