clone users

Something that was brought up by our webteam
is the ability to clone users. It's difficult
to configure users when you have a lot of groups,
categories, workflows, etc., so being able to copy
an existing user would be convenient.
How would you envisage such a feature? Would it be
in the User Manager, a 'Clone' link in the list of
users returned by a search? Would you only have
the Login and Password be changeable at the time of
cloning?

Yes, and a button on the profile would probably work, too.

I think I'd unset them, and then load the new (unsaved)
profile, so  
that they could be set.

So are you going to implement this? Frankly, I'd like to see
all  
Bricolage objects be clone-able.

Best,

I was if nobody else had a burning desire to.

Yes, good idea.

I'd like to second this idea. Cloning Groups strikes me as
useful as well.
