Replicating user

For a video tutorial of this topic, see our adoption portal.

 

As a Global Security Administrator ( administrator for all repositories) , you can ‘replicate’ a user’s permissions on files to another user. You can do this for any user and on any protected file of your organization.

You can also replicate permissions from one domain to another, an individual to a domain, or vice versa.

Search for the desired file(s) (see  Searching for Files ), check the box against them in the search results, then click Actions at the top, and click Replicate User as shown below.

In the Replicate User window, enter the two users and click Replicate.

Alternatively, enter the two domains and click Replicate.

If the current user is the Owner of a file, the new user will receive Full Control permission on it . The current user will continue to be the Owner. This is because one file can have only one Owner.

Permissions given via the following means will also be replicated to the new user:

1. Groups (i.e. if the old user is part of a group that has permissions on a file)
2. Policies (i.e. if the old user is part of a policy that is applied on a file)
3. Hot Folders

Permissions given via application integrations cannot be replicated here.
