Copy User Permissions
This article provides information about the Copy User Permissions action.
The Copy User Permissions action enables you to copy all directly given permissions and group memberships from one user to another user, or even multiple users, eliminating the daunting task of comparing permissions between users and manually applying them if needed.
Please note! The Copy User Permissions action is available only for Syskit Point users with the Syskit Point Admin role.

You can take advantage of the Copy User Permissions action in the following cases:
Onboarding a user – make the process faster by copying permissions from an existing team member to the new one, for example; you can even copy permissions to multiple users at once
