Replace permissions

1 Introduction

The purpose of the Replace Permissions function is to allow a System Champion/Admin to update a user's access and permissions quickly and simply, by overwriting the current permissions with those of another template user.


An example scenario for this would be the promotion of a user. The user needs access to new forms and functions. So instead of selecting each new option one by one, you can replace  en masse with the permissions of a user that is already in the new role.

2 Using the Replace Permissions Function

This is a very simple function to use.



* Go to System Access Management | User Administration | Edit User - User Details
* Search for and select the user you wish to change the permissions for
* Select the name of the template user (the person who already has all the required access)
* Select the options to replace as required
* Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click 'Update the Permissions'
