Cloning a user in User Administration

Use the Clone User feature to create a new user with access and permissions similar to an existing user. For example, you have a day shift manager (Manager A) and a night shift manager (Manager B), and you want them to have the same level of access within the Unifocus software. After you create an account for Manager A, you can clone Manager A's account to create a new user account for Manager B.

Note: Passwords are no longer created or managed by Unifocus user administrators. The user creates their own password when they click the link in the invitation email. If the user forgets their password, they can reset it by clicking the Forgot Password link on the Sign In screen.

Newly created users cannot log in until:

The account is made active. For more information, see Activating and deactivating a user in User Administration.
They complete their account registration and create a password using the link in the invitation email. For more information, see Sending an invitation email in User Administration.

To clone a user:

In the upper-left corner of the screen, select Access your applications ( ).
The menu expands.
Select Administration > User Administration.
The User Administration screen appears.

In the left menu pane, select Manage Users ( icon ). This is the default view for the screen.
