Saving As a New User
If you have multiple users at your company that perform the same tasks, it may be useful to create one user to use as a template to create other users. Using the Save As New User action, you can apply the same group and profile memberships from your source user to a new user.
|
This action may not be available if the existing user from which you want to create a new user belongs to a directory server that is read-only and no other writable directory servers exist, or if the existing user is a disconnected participant.
|
1. Select Save As New User from the right-click actions menu of an existing user within the Participant Administration table.
2. On the
Set Attributes step in the
Save As New User window, enter user attributes as you would when creating a new user. For a description of each attribute, see
New User – Set Attributes.
|
The synchronize name with LDAP, postal address, organization, preferred language, directory server, and domain settings of the new user will match those of the user from which you launched the action.

3. On the
Assign to Groups step, the table is populated with the groups of the user from which you launched the action. Using the add group to table
icon or the add groups from another user
icon, you can add the new user to additional groups. Use the remove selected objects icon to remove the user from groups that are listed in the table. For more information, see
Assign to Groups and
Add Groups From Another User.
4. On the
Assign to Profiles step, the table is populated with the standard profiles of the user from which you launched the action. Using the add profile to list
icon or the add profiles from another user
icon, you can add the new user to additional standard profiles. Use the remove selected objects
icon to remove the user from profiles that are listed in the table. For more information, see
Assign to Profiles and
Add Profiles From Another User.
5. On the
Assign Picture step, use the
Browse button to add an image of the user. For more information, see
New User — Assign Picture.
6. Click OK.
A confirmation appears in the yellow ribbon at the top of your screen. Any groups or profiles to which the user could not be added are listed in the confirmation.
