Copy User Rights Command (Tools Menu)

See Also

Acts as a template and copies one user's access rights to another user.

Remarks

Instead of adding a user's access rights to every project a user is working on, you can simply copy all access rights from another similar user.

To copy user rights

1. In the user list, click the user whose access rights you want to modify.
   
   
2. On the Tools menu, click Copy User Rights. The Copy Rights Assignments to User dialog box is displayed, providing a list of all VSS users.
   
   
3. Click a user to use as an access rights template, and then click Copy.

After you copy rights, the two users have identical access rights in every project. You can, however, individually change their access rights in specific projects. Future changes to one user are not duplicated for the other, unless you use this command to copy user rights again.
