Title: Copy User
Post by: Devlyn Davis on March 30, 2002, 10:10:58 PM

Sorry...this is a cross-post from the Experienced User forum.  However, I see it as a valuable feature so I am placing it here in the wish list :)


How difficult would it be to enable a 'copy user' feature?  I see this as valuable for creating user templates.

An administrator would simply need to create a few templates that all of the correct permissions and group memberships.  Then by copying that user template (with a new user name, of course) you would have a new user ready to go with just a few clicks and putting in the proper name.  This would also be useful for renaming a user.  Simply copy the existing user to a new username and delete the original user.

Is this implementable as SME stands now?

Thanks,
-Dev

Speaking of user accounts, the ability to set an expiry date on user accounts would be useful, perhaps even a date or frequency for them to change their password.
