How to Clone a Provisioning Managed Group

Cloning a group that is managed by Active Directory Integration or SCIM will create a new group containing the same users—but this new group will not be managed by provisioning. Visit our Active Directory Integration (ADI) article or our SCIM Configuration Guide article for more information.

1. In your KnowBe4 console, go to the Users tab.
2. Select the Groups subtab. 
3. From the listed groups, find the group you would like to clone.
4. Under the Actions column, click the drop-down arrow of the desired group and select Clone.

How to Clone a Smart Group

When cloning a Smart Group, you will have the option to either create a new Smart Group or create a standard console group.

Cloning a Smart Group to create another Smart Group will create a new group with the same criteria. These criteria can be changed or customized once the new Smart Group has been created. Visit our How to Use Smart Groups article for more information.

Cloning a Smart Group to create a standard console group will create a new group containing the same users—but no Smart Group capabilities. 

1. In your KnowBe4 console, go to the Users tab.
2. Select the Groups subtab. 
3. From the listed groups, find the group you would like to clone.
4. Under the Actions column, click the drop-down arrow of the desired group and select Clone.
   
5. In the window that displays, select to create a new Smart Group or Console Group.
6. Then enter a New Group Name and click Clone Group.
