Adding new user

A good general rule is never to set security settings at the user level.
Always do it by groups. That way it's a simple matter to put someone in a
group and they will inherit all of the security settings. Same thing if
someone is promoted. Just move them from one group to another.
Groups can overlap. A user can be a member of several groups. Flexibility.
Even if you have a group with only one member, it's still the best way to
go.

Subject: [Vantage] Adding new user


I'm looking for an easy way to add a new user with the same security
settings as a current user.
Is there a way to copy and then rename?
If not what is the best (easiest) way to manually add the security settings
for the new user?

Vantage 4.0.

Thanks.

We create security groups for the different security settings required and
then add users to the different security groups. So, when a new user is
added, you just have to add them to the security groups you want and you're
all set. If you don't have security groups set up, then I don't know if an
easy way.
