Example

The ability to copy permissions makes it very easy to duplicate a set of permissions that you would like to have on more than one page, block, area, or file.

  1. Navigate to a page where you would like to initially set permissions, and edit permissions
  2. When all your permissions are set up accordingly, scroll to the bottom of the list and click Copy
  3. Save the permissions
  4. Navigate to another page where you would like to use the same set of permissions, and edit permissions
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click Paste
