Copying Log-in Privilages between users

    Posted Mar 05, 2013 02:13 AM

    Hi All,

    Good Day..

    We are using Sep 12.1 RU1 MP1 on a windows Architecture, we need to give elevated privileges to some of our users to log on to SEPM server, is there any method to copy one user's privileges to another? Like Profile copying?

    Regards

    Ajin

    Thats not possible with SEP as of now. 

    You can put up a enhance request to clone the user IDs.

    Or you can use AD authentication if you have users already created in AD. This log in can be used for SEPM login as well.

    As everyone said it's not possible to copy/replicate user rights.

    Can put the enhancement request here: http://service1.symantec.com/DISCUSS/SUPPORT/feedback2.nsf/product+feedback
