Having spent time and effort to fine tune user/role permissions settings and catalog triggers for a specific catalog, you may want to reuse these settings in other catalogs, too. To do so, you just have to copy them from one catalog to another.
PRECONDITIONS: To copy permissions and triggers from one catalog to another, you must have the View Catalog Settings permissions (in order to see the Catalog Settings tab in the Preferences window), as well as the following permissions: Modify Catalog Category Permissions, and Manage Catalog Triggers.
To copy permissions or triggers between catalogs:
1. Open both the source catalog and the target catalog in the same collection window.
2. Select Preferences > Catalog Settings.
3. From the Catalogs drop down list, select the target catalog.
4. Click Copy permissions or Copy triggers.
5. Select the source catalog (the catalog the permission/triggers of which you want to copy), then click OK.
The trigger/ permissions settings are copied from the source catalog to the target catalog.
NOTE: Caution! The settings in the target catalog will be completely overwritten with the settings from the source catalog!
