Copying a security group is a quick way to create a new security group based on the existing Security Group ID, description, employee assignments, and user assignments. The security group from which the copy is created remains unchanged in the list of groups.

To create a new security group by copying an existing group:

  1. Click the Setup tab.

  2. Under the Setup tab, click the Security Groups link to view a list of existing security groups.

  3. On the Security Groups page, click the Copy button on the right side of the page for the security group that you want to copy. The Security Group page opens with the Security Group field, Description field, Users tab, and Employees tab filled in based on the group you copied.

  4. Edit the Security Group field to create an ID for the new security group.

  5. Edit the Description field to create a description for the new security group.

  6. On the Users tab, make any necessary edits to the list of users who have access to the security group.

  7. On the Employees tab, make any necessary edits to the list of employees who are members of the security group.

  8. Click the Submit button. The new security group appears in the list of exiting security groups.
