If there is already a role that includes the majority of permissions you want to grant for a new role, you can clone that existing role.

  1. Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Membership Administration > Member and Roles > Manage Site Roles.
  2. Choose the role you want to clone from the Site Role drop-down list.
  3. Click Clone Role. The name is renamed to Clone of <role name>, the permissions granted for that existing role rename in the Granted Permissions list, and the role icon remains (although the role icon isn't actually cloned).



  4. Optionally, change the Name of the new role.
  5. Optionally, change the Description of the new role.
  6. Optionally, add additional permissions to the Granted Permissions list (using the > key) or remove permissions using the < key).
  7. Click Save. The name of the clone role is displayed in the Site Role drop-down list as confirmation that the role was successfully created.
