## Creating a New Role by Duplicating an Existing One

Administrators can quickly create a new role by duplicating an existing role and adjusting its permissions as needed. This approach ensures consistency and saves time when configuring similar role types.

## Steps to Duplicate a Role

1.  Click on the gear icon on the top right corner of the screen to navigate to **Administration & Settings**.
2.  In the left‑hand panel, click **Roles**.
3.  Select the existing role you want to duplicate.

4.  Enter a **new Role Name** and provide a **description** for the new role.

5.  The system will generate a new role with the same permissions as the original, which you can then modify as required.
