Copying users in the Security screen  (17443)

This release features a security enhancement to the process of copying users. You can only copy users who have equal or lesser permissions than you have. On the Security screen (Main Menu (  ) > Admin > Security), the Copy (  ) button is not available for selection if you are trying to copy a user who has a higher permission level than you have.

Notes:

  • If you must copy a user with a higher permission level, you must escalate the task to a user with the appropriate administrative permissions.
  • This security improvement does not affect the process of adding a new user because you cannot create a new user with higher permission than you have.

Updated versions: Version 9.12 and later.
