As a Security Administrator, you can ‘replicate’ a user’s permissions on files to another user. This is useful when a new member has joined the team and needs access to files with permissions other users have.
Search for the desired file(s) (see Searching for Files ), check the box against them in the search results, then click Actions at the top, and click Replicate User as shown below.
In the Replicate User window, enter the two users and click Replicate.
All permissions of the current user will be copied to the new user. The current user will continue to retain his/her permissions.
If the current user is the Owner of a file, the new user will receive Full Control permission on it . The current user will continue to be the Owner. This is because one file can have only one Owner.
Permissions given via the following means will also be replicated to the new user:
Permissions given via application integrations cannot be replicated here.
