It would be nice to be able to copy an existing local user to a new user. We commonly have clients that need a new user created that matches all of the rights of another existing user. This is an easy task in most systems.

  Hi Jon, 

  You can' t copy a user, but you can create a custom profile, which you can assign to any user so they have the same rights. 
  Just right-click on the user section in the device tree and select 'User Roles...' and the menu below appears and select ' New Role' and create the role. When the role had been created you can assign the role to any user in the same way you assigned the default roles.

  If by some reason role would not work for you, we will consider adding it 4.1

  I would strongly consider adding user copy support.

  we will make LDAP groups, which assumes one user could have multiple roles, which assumes a little roles redesign, I sent your request to the dev team to discuss in the context of this redesign. 

  Thanks a lot!!

  It might be handy if the user list could also group the users by their role like a sub category.

  So if you knew you had to copy Sam's profile you could easily see he was part of the Viewer group, or whatever.
