Overview

You can make copies of all Universal Controller records, including Groups, using the standard method for Copying a Record: selecting Insert on the Action menu.

However, this method does not make copies of any records that are associated with the copied record. For Groups, Insert does not make copies of any Group Roles, Group Members, and Permissions that are associated with the Group.

The Copy option allows you to make a complete copy of a Group, including all records associated with the Group.
