Copy user roles

When inviting a new user or editing an existing user’s role, the Org role and App role of one of the organization’s other users can be copied and applied to the user being edited.

Prerequisite

Only users with an Org admin role can invite, remove, and manage user access levels for other users in the VIP Dashboard.
