Copying security saves time. You can copy security:
From one user to another. For example, you've set up security for an employee named John. You have another employee named Mark whom you want to give the same security as John. You can copy John's security to Mark with just a few keystrokes.
To copy security from one user to another, the security of the user you're copying from must exist in Store 1, Terminal 1.
From one terminal to another. For example, you added Lisa's security to terminal 1 only. Now you realize she'll need to have access at terminal 3 as well. You can copy her security from terminal 1 to terminal 3.
(Multistore) From one store to another. For example, you added Julie's security to store 1. She doesn't need access at all five of your locations, but she'll occasionally work at store 2. You can copy her security from store 1 to store 2.
