Copy security access from one user to another in MS GP 10.0

Hello:

I am new GP 10.0 and I am trying to set up a user and copy the security rights of an existing user. When I looked up how to do this the instructions says I can go to Microsoft Dynamics GP menu>>Tools>>Setup>>System>>User. I did this and I entered the new user info. The instructions then say I can click on the Copy Access button. I do not have a Copy access button.

Am I missing something?

I would like to copy the access rights to sa for myself. Is this a bad idea?

Thank you.

I believe the Copy Access option is only available in GP 2010, not in 10.0.

'sa' is a special user in SQL that bypasses security checks. In GP, the equivalent of this is to give the POWERUSER Security Role to a user. There is nothing wrong with giving this to your user, however, it will not give you the same SQL rights as 'sa' has. What are you trying to achieve?

thank you victoria_y.

I think POWERUSER would work fine for what I need. I am trying to setup my own account. I am new but will be the sysadmin. I can always use sa when needed but I wanted to create a personal account for me when I am trying to troubleshoot issues. They could be from any module so I wanted to get as much access as possible.

How would I go about giving myself the POWERUSER role? I didn't see it listed..

thanks again.
