Creating and Managing User Accounts › How to Create a User Account › Clone an Existing User Account

Clone an Existing User Account

You can create new user accounts quickly using the Clone feature. You can base new user accounts on an existing account, such as the predefined user account, "user".

Administrators can also create user account templates based on job function, which can be cloned to create individual accounts more easily. For security reasons, we recommend disabling the 'Enable user account' setting for templates so that CA Performance Center cannot be accessed unintentionally. Instead, enable CA Performance Center access as needed for the user accounts you create by cloning templates.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in as a user with administrative privileges.
2. Navigate to the Manage Users page.

   The page displays the current list of user accounts.

3. Select a check box for the account you want to clone, and click Clone.

   The Clone User page opens. Most user account options are populated based on the cloned user account.

4. Enter a username for the cloned account.
5. Enter a password for the cloned account.
6. Click Save.

   The new account is saved.
