Clone user permissions

Cloning an existing user’s permissions is a quick and easy way to assign similar folder permissions to multiple users or clients.

On the People on this Folder view, click the check-box to the left of the user with permissions you would like to clone and click on “Clone User”. This will open a menu where you can search for existing users or create new ones.

Once you have selected or created the users you would like to add, you can choose to notify the new users that they have been granted permission to this folder. These users will inherit the folder permissions and upload/download alerts for the current folder, as well as any subfolders. Click Clone when finished.

Note:

You cannot clone permissions from a Distribution Group or the Super User Group to another user. Instead, consider adding the user to the group itself!
