Cloning an Existing User's Profile
In large environments characterized by numerous users, you may have many users who play the same role or shoulder the same responsibilities in the organization; such users may also require that they be assigned more or less the same monitoring rights and privileges to the eG Enterprise system. In such circumstances, instead of repeatedly performing the redundant exercise of configuring a separate profile for each user, administrators can quickly 'clone' or 'copy' the monitoring settings of a particular user to create another profile. This saves administrators the time and effort involved in manually configuring and registering multiple user profiles with similar monitoring preferences.
To 'clone' a specific user's profile, do the following:
In that then appears, Choose an existing user to clone.
Then, proceed to provide the settings that are specific to the new user. The first in that list is the User authentication mode. Here, indicate whether the user being created is a Domain user or a Local user. By default, the Local option is chosen. In this case, proceed as discussed below:
To configure the new user to receive email/SMS alerts of problem conditions in the environment, provide a comma-separated list of mail IDs and/or mobile numbers against the Email ID / Mobile number text box. If no Email ID / Mobile number is provided here, then alarm information will not be sent as emails/SMS to this user.
Note:
Even if the original user has not been configured to receive email/SMS alerts of issues, the 'clone' can be configured to receive the same. In this case therefore, the 'clone' will by default receive email/SMS notifications of issues, regardless of their priority - i.e., the 'clone' will be alerted to Critical, Major, and Minor problems via email/SMS.
On the other hand, if the original user is configured to receive email/SMS alerts of issues, then, all the settings related to these alerts (with the exception of the email IDs and mobile numbers to which the alarms are to be sent) will apply to the clone as well, by default. These settings include the following:
If the User authentication mode is set to Domain on the other hand, you will have to proceed as described below:
Pick the Domain to which the user belongs. If, at the time of registering that domain with the eG Enterprise system, you had set the Save Domain User Password to the eG Enterprise Systemto No, then, upon selecting the Domain here, you will be prompted to re-enter the Domain User Password. Without this password, the eG manager will not be able to connect to the domain server and validate domain user accounts. Provide the password and click the Submit button in to proceed.
Specify the User ID of the new user/group, and click the Validate button to validate that user/group with the AD server. If the User ID is successfully validated, additional options will appear in the clone user page as indicated by Figure 3.

To configure the new user to receive email/SMS alerts of problem conditions in the environment, provide a comma-separated list of mail IDs and/or mobile numbers against the Email ID / Mobile number text box. If no Email ID / Mobile number is provided here, then alarm information will not be sent as emails/SMS to this user.
Note:
Even if the original user has not been configured to receive email/SMS alerts of issues, the 'clone' can be configured to receive the same. In this case therefore, the 'clone' will by default receive email/SMS notifications of issues, regardless of their priority - i.e., the 'clone' will be alerted to Critical, Major, and Minor problems via email/SMS.
On the other hand, if the original user is configured to receive email/SMS alerts of issues, then, all the settings related to these alerts (with the exception of the email IDs and mobile numbers to which the alarms are to be sent) will apply to the clone as well, by default. These settings include the following:
Then, to indicate which settings of the original user need to be replicated to the new user, select the relevant check boxes from the Settings for replication section. To replicate all settings, select the Select All check box.
