This article explains how to transfer or copy a user's access permissions in Workspace. This process can be performed in the User Profile page. Transferring and copying access permissions differ slightly and can be used in different scenarios to suit your needs while maintaining the highest level of security.

The differences between transferring and copying permissions include the following:

• Transfer
  • When transferring access permissions, the user whose access permissions are being transferred will lose their access.
  • This process may be used when a user is leaving a team, and another user is joining to replace them. The original user will lose their access, and the new user will gain the access.
• Copy
  • When copying access permissions, the user whose access permissions you are copying will retain their access. The access permissions are duplicated, allowing both users to have the same access.
  • This process may be used when a new team member needs the same access as their peers.

To transfer or copy access permissions, follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your organization's Workspace.
2. Navigate to Admin Tools > Users/Groups > Manage Users and Groups.
3. Search for the user who you want to transfer or copy permissions from.
4. Select the Edit User button on the line entry of the user. The User Profile page will be displayed.
5. In the Manage user access tile, select either Transfer access or Copy access.
6. In the pop-up window, enter the recipient's email address.
7. Click Next.
8. Select which options to be transferred or copied.
9. Click Next.
10. Review the summary and click Confirm to complete the transfer or copy.
