Duplicate role assignments

Overview

Use this feature to assign one member to the same role assignments as a group without the member joining the group.

Suppose to give Mary, who is a member of the Research group, the same explicit role assignments as the Sales group, but we do not want her to be a member of the Sales group. The Sales group has the Privileged User@Market News Page role explicitly assigned. Use the duplicate role assignments feature to give Mary the same explicit role assignments as the Sales group.

Only explicit role assignments will be duplicated. Role assignments inherited through group membership are not duplicated. For example, if the Sales group is a subgroup of the Marketing group, Mary does not automatically receive or inherit any of the role assignments the Marketing group has.

We must have either of the following permissions:

• At least the Privileged User@Market News Page, Security Administrator@Market News Page, and Delegator@Research Group roles.

  This allows us to assign the Research group (or individual members of this group) to the Privileged User@Market News Page role or the User@Market News Page role.

• The Administrator@Portal role.

  This allows us to assign any user or group to any role on any resource.

Duplicate role assignments

1. Choose one of the following methods to find the user or group that will inherit the role assignment:

   • Search for the user or group

   • Click the All Portal User Groups link for a list of all groups

   • Click the All Authenticated Portal Users for a list of all users

2. Click the Duplicate role assignments icon for the user or group that will inherit the role assignments.

3. Click the Select radio button for the user or group that will serve as the model for the role assignment.

4. Click OK to save the changes, or Cancel to exit without saving the changes.
