I know there are ways, but the best way to manage this would be through implementing Group Permissions. &nbsp;That way you don't have to search down through the user permissions to find them, copy them, or delete them.<br />
<br />
The best thing to do would be to document User A's Permissions, then create Groups reflecting each area and type of permission. &nbsp;Then you have a visible Group reflecting a certain type of permission, and granting that permission is as simple as adding the user to the Group.<br />

Good Luck,<br />

Ja thanks, I've tried doing groups (in this organization) but the client has to many gradular permissions, drilling deep down multiple folder levels, I'd prob have almost as many groups as users ;)<br />

I've created a new user who should have the same rights to network folders in the ad as antoher. Is their any way to copy those across or do I manually have to add the security settings?

Copy user security permissions from one ad user account to another

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
