easier to copy the already existing role and make minor adjustments to the copy than to creating a new role from
scratch.

Security
, click
Roles,
right-click the required role in the Overview pane (see "Panes Overview" on page 36), select
Copy
Role...
2. In the dialog that opens, give the copied role a new unique name and description.
3. Click
OK
.
Deleting a Role
Before deleting a role (see "About Roles" on page 145), keep in mind that you are able to delete a role even when
users and/or groups have been assigned to the role. It is therefore often a good idea to verify if any users/groups are
assigned to the role before deleting it.
Verifying if Any Users/Groups Are Assigned to a Role

Security
, and right-click
Roles
.

Users and
Groups
tab.
