Add Groups From Another User
The add groups from another user action allows you to search for a user who is a member of groups of which you want the user you are creating or editing to be a member. For example, you may find that you are creating a user who needs to have similar group membership to a current Windchill user. By using this action, you are able to quickly find the appropriate groups.
1. From the Assign to Groups step of a New User, Save As New User, or Edit User window, click the add groups from another user icon.
2. Enter user information in the Find Participant search window.
3. Select the user or users for which you would like to add groups from the Search Results or Most Recent Participants lists and click the Add button to add the user or users to the Participant List.
4. When you have added all users for which you would like to add groups to the Participant List, click OK to return to the Assign to Groups step.
The groups associated with each user selected will appear in the Groups table. Use the from user icon to identify the source user for each group added to the table. If more than one user is a member of a group, only one user name will display.

If the missing modify permission icon appears, the new user will not be added to that group because you do not have the necessary permissions to modify the group. The new user can be added to groups that appear with (Secured Information) as long as the missing modify permission icon does not appear.
