Copy a Security Administration user account

Copy a Security Administration user account to reuse the information within and across
View Designer
 projects. Copy individual items from the user account or copy an entire user account card including the password and PIN.
Prerequisites
  • Open the source
    View Designer
     project containing the content to copy.
  • If the content is to be pasted into another project, for each project, start an instance of
    View Designer
     and open the target project. It is recommended to open no more than three instances of
    View Designer
     at one time.

    tab to display the
    User Accounts
     box.

    User Accounts
     box, select a user account card, and then right-click and select
    Copy
