[VA] How to use the VA Copy User/Group Security form

Created by Crystal Millington, Modified on Mon, 29 Dec at 9:33 AM by Crystal Millington

This form is mainly used to transfer security settings from one user or group to another. Once security is copied, you usually won’t need this form again.


Notes:

  • To copy all security from one user to another, it’s easier to use the Copy Security button in VA User Profile.

  • Copying Form Security here will overwrite all user-level access on the target user. Group-level security is not affected.


Steps to Copy Security:

  1. In VA Copy User/Group Security, select From: User or Group.

  2. Enter the source User/Group (or press F4 to select).

  3. In To, choose the target User(s) or Group(s).

  4. Select the Security Type to copy.

  5. Pick the target User(s)/Group(s) in the Names field.

  6. Click Apply → a warning appears.

  7. Click Yes to copy security.

Tip: If you don’t need full security copied, you can just add the target user to the appropriate Security Groups in their User Profile.
