Copy Role Permissions

Permissions on a role support replication, that is, all permissions on one role can be copied to another role.

When permissions are set on a role, the title of the permission information displays a button for replication permissions. When a role does not have any permissions, a button for replication permissions is not displayed.

The location of the Copy Permission button, as shown in the following figure:

Click the “Copy” button to pop up the dialog with the copy permission, as shown in the following figure:

After checking, click OK to copy the permissions of this role to the roles checked in the dialog box. You can check one role or multiple roles at the same time.

 

Examples:

1. Role1  has read and write permission to dashboard "Demos for Industries / Insurance", and role2 has read and write permission to "Theme" root directory. As shown in the following figure:
