Add "Copy User" or "Create New User from..." option to a specific user's details screen

As an admin, I'm frequently asked to add users to the system. I generally will search for a "like" user already in the system and check to see what groups/teams/access level the current user is assigned to, and set up my new user in a similar way.

I have "New from Selected Person" available to me from the People/People tab, but I don't necessarily want to set up a filter to allow me to see only the subset of users I want to see. It would be wonderful for admin users to have the option to create a new user from an existing user's details tab.

    I was about to post this myself, but I serached for it instead and found this one. It would be immensely helpful to be able to copy an existing user, then make the 2-3 edits for a new user, than have to build the entire profile again from scratch. Baring that, it would be useful to be able to create user templates, so I could then just update the users specific info, again rather than creating a new one from scratch...

    Thank you for the submission! We think this is a good enhancement to the Workfront platform overall and this product area in particular!

     

    Workfront currently prioritizes large-scale, foundational enhancements such as the new Reporting experience and changes to the core data model, so this item does not fit in our near-term roadmap. As such, I am marking this as Declined now, but we'll keep this in our backlog for the improvements for this area so that we can revisit the decision in the future.
