Duplicating permission groups

Existing permission groups on your Contribute site can be duplicated. This is often an easy way to create a new group that has very similar permissions as an existing group on your site. You can duplicate an existing permission group, rename it, and make minor modifications to the permission settings to create an entirely new permission group in a fraction of the time required to set up a new group from scratch.

permission groups in Contribute

To duplicate a permissions group, access the Contribute site administration panel.

  1. Highlight the existing group you wish to duplicate
  2. Click the "Duplicate" button
  3. Rename the permission group

Your new permission group will appear immediately in the list of groups. You can now assign users to that group. You can also highlight the new group name and edit the permissions to customize your new group even further.
