Can I clone a group?

Yes! You will have the option to clone any of the following group types:

1. Console group
   
   • A standard group in the console. If cloned, the new group will contain the same users.
2. AD-managed group
   
   • A group that is managed by Active Directory Integration. If cloned, the new group will contain the same users, but will not be managed by ADI. Visit our Active Directory Integration (ADI) article for more information.
3. Smart Group
   
   • A group that is created based on specific criteria. If cloned, the new group will contain the same criteria as the previous Smart Group but can be customized as needed after cloning. Visit our How to Use Smart Groups article for more information.
