How to Clone a Provisioning-Managed Group

Cloning a group that is managed by Active Directory Integration (ADI) or System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) will create a new group containing the same users. However, this new group will not be managed by provisioning. Visit our Active Directory Integration (ADI) Configuration Guide or our SCIM Configuration Guide for more information.

1. In your KMSAT console, go to the Users tab.
2. Select the Groups subtab. 
3. From the listed groups, find the group you would like to clone.

How to Clone a Smart Group

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

If you choose to create a new Smart Group while cloning, the new Smart Group will have the same criteria. You can change or customize these criteria once the new Smart Group has been created. Visit our How to Use Smart Groups article for more information.

If you choose to clone a Smart Group to create a standard console group, the new console group will contain the same users but will not have Smart Group capabilities. Follow the steps below to clone a Smart Group:

1. In your KMSAT 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 Smart Group or Console Group.
6. Then, enter a New Group Name and click Clone Group.
