 From the perspective of the identity manager, it does not matter whether the user acquires an account in a specific application, is placed in a group in LDAP, his indication is set to “can use VPN”, or a permission is set for him in the application. In all the cases, a role is assigned. A simplification carried out like this allows general rules to be applied for assigning all types of permissions (~roles) in the same way. From the perspective of the identity manager, it does not matter whether the user acquires an account in a specific application, is placed in a group in LDAP, his indication is set to “can use VPN”, or a permission is set for him in the application.

 +===== Copying roles from a user =====
 +
 +Copying roles from a user is a new feature that allows one user to easily copy roles/permissions from another user. You can get the same roles like one of your colleagues has by simply filing a request that admin then approves or declines.  For more information please visit [[devel:documentation:roles:adm:copying-assigned-roles|admin guide]].
 +
 +This feature is available in the role request detail, see the new button in the picture:

 +===== Duplicating roles =====
 +
 +Role can be duplicated by prepared bulk action. Bulk action is available on the roles table.
 +
 +{{ :devel:documentation:screenshot_from_2019-03-15_13-11-55.png?600 |}}
 +
 +Action provides features:
 +  * **Select environment** - role will be duplicated to selected environment. If the same as role's environment is selected or environment input is leaved empty, the role is duplicated on the same environment with suffix added into role's base code, e.g. **roleOne** => **roleOne_1**. If the different environment is selected, then duplicate with the same base code is created (or updated).
 +  * **Duplicate role attributes** - creates (or updates) configured role attributes.
 +  * **Duplicate sub roles** - creates (or updates) sub roles by business role definition (recursively). If the same environment is selected, the only role composition is created - exists sub role is used. If the different environment (~target environment) is used, then sub roles with the same environment as original are duplicated recursively into target environment.
 +  * **Duplicate automatic roles** - creates (or updates) configured automatic roles. Both automatic roles by the tree structure and by the attribute are duplicated.
 +
 +<note tip>When the role with the same base code already exist on the selected environment (environment has to be different), then new duplicate is not created, but the exists duplicate is updated.</note>
 +
 +Read [[.roles:dev:duplicate-role|more]] about action implementation and how it's possible to extend it.
