I have client that has a large team with many different user roles. Most of them are very similar save one or two small permissions but you have to start all over creating a new role. It would be so easy to clone and edit roles. Currently I juxtapose two windows next to each other and edit but seems archaic. ---

I too agree that it would be great to be able to simply clone or copy a user and have all of their user permissions easily applied to a new user during initial setup. This is a basic admin function that many applications have including SalesForce. ---

I too agree that it would be a cool option. ---

I vote for this! This would be a major time saver! ---

Yes please! Let us clone roles. ---

We have so many different roles so it would be great if we could simply clone! ---

I second this! Our salesteam is growing fast and colleagues come and go. So this means a lot of work creating users, adjusting property views and permissions. This would really help us out. ---

must have feature. ---

Agreed! I have created a ghost account for myself to evaluate what permissions are necessary within our roles, and rather than rebuilding them all, I’m hoping I could clone and adjust ---

Yes, a must have especially when creating users via SCIM / Okta. Since every user must be matched to a standardized role that cannot be edited from within Hubspot, it would be a lot less time consuming to be able to clone roles to make new ones with specific permissions changes. ---

Would love to see this feature available. Most of our associates have a standard role but with minor permissions changes depending on what additional hats they wear at the firm. Would love to be able to clone the base role and update with a couple of clicks. ---

This is a no brainer - updating role permissions individually doesn’t scale, and the same ability to “copy role permissions to new user” should be replicated for existing users. ---

Agreed, this would be a really useful feature for when needing to make a minor change to a similar role. ---

Hello! My name is Flora and I’m a PM at HubSpot working in permissions. We have a feature where you can create a user via “Copy permissions to new users”. Also, you can use permission sets to do this as well, more information here: [Create and assign permission sets](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/settings/create-permission-sets) Please let me know if this fits the use case and I’d be happy to chat more as well. ![Screen Shot 2022-08-30 at 11.44.48 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/5/5/55f7e8dcb0eeecc7d6e96ca2c7807edfb3993b58.png) ---

@Flora - that is helpful for new users, but we also have a need of copying existing permission sets to existing users (ie assign a new custom set of permissions). Job changes, scaling roles, etc. are all reasons this may occur. ---

@Flora Thanks for your input but I agree with @callie that what we need is to be able to copy existing permissions roles. ---

+1 for copying permissions, **or** , saving your permissions as a set that can be applied at any point in time. Current users are in scope, not new users. ---
