Copy a User

To create a new user record, you can copy and modify an existing user record. The new user record must have a unique user ID. The new user inherits the first user's access rights and privileges, including record level security.

To create a new user from an existing user record:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Security > Users.
  2. At the top of the Users form, enter either a complete or partial name or number in the Find user lookup field to find and select an existing user record that you want to copy.
  3. On the Actions bar, click Actions > Copy.
  4. In the User ID field, enter a new, unique user ID.
    • If the user ID is not an email address (does not include the @ character), the total length cannot exceed 120 characters.
    • If the user ID is an email address, the total length cannot exceed 113 characters, with up to 64 allowed before the @ character and up to 48 allowed after the @ character.

      You cannot include an @ character, other than the one separating the email username from the domain.

      You cannot include a period (.) immediately preceding the @ character.

  5. Modify the remaining user information, including the default print settings.
  6. Click Save.
