Managing Users : Actions for User Manager : Copying User Settings
   
Copying User Settings
When the Users entry is selected in the User Manager module, the Actions menu offers another option: Copy User Settings. This option allows you to copy user settings from one user to another. The User Settings for the Cumulus application as set in the Preferences window are then copied.
 
1. In the left panel of the Server Console window, click the entry User Manager and reveal its options. Then click on Users.
2. Select Actions > Copy User Settings. A dialog opens to select the user you want to serve as template.
3. Enter search criteria to find the desired user by her/his name. (The Cumulus built-in authentication will search login name, first, middle and last name.)
4. Click Find. The found users are listed. (Note that by default the result list can include a maximum of 50 entries.)
5. Select the user you want to use as template and click OK.
The next step is to collect the users/roles you want to apply the settings to.
6. Click Add User or Add Role to find those you want to inherit the settings.
Clicking Add User opens a dialog to find and select users.
Enter search criteria to find the desired user by her/his name. (The Cumulus built-in authentication will search login name, first, middle and last name.) Then click Find. The found users are listed. (Note that by default the result list can include a maximum of 50 entries.)
Clicking Add Roles opens a dialog that lists the roles.
7. Select the users/roles you want to inherit the settings and click OK. They are transferred to the list of the Collect Users window.
If a role is listed, the settings will be applied to all users assigned to the role.
8. Click OK to apply the settings to the users addressed in the window.
