Overview

Groups can be copied from a Community to a default Organization. This action is similar to contributing a Group to a Community or Source, except that it creates a new Group in the default Organization (with associated Tags, Attributes, and Indicators, if desired) instead of creating a Group in a Community or Source. Any changes made to the newly copied Group will not affect the original Group. A common use of this function is to work in a Group with organizationally defined Attributes, Tags, and Indicators. The Group can then be contributed to other Communities or shared with other Organizations.

• Copy Attributes?: Select Yes to copy the original Group's Attributes to the copied Group.
• Include Tags?: Select Yes to associate all Tags from the original Group with the copied Group.
• Create Tags That Don't Exist?: This option allows users to determine whether Tags associated with the original Group that do not already exist in the Organization will be created and associated with the copied Group or excluded from the copy operation. This option is available only if Yes is selected for Include Tags?. Select Yes to create any Tags that do not already exist in the Organization. Select No to include only Tags that already exist in the Organization..
• Copy Associated Groups?: Select Yes to copy Groups associated to the original Group to the Organization and associate them to the copied Group. Select the Group types to copy from the checkboxes below this option. See the “Group Hierarchy and Association Directionality” section in Contributing to a Community or Source for more information about which Groups associated to associated Groups will be copied.

14. If the Exclude button remains selected, then the Choose Security Labels dropdown menu is used to select the Security Labels that will determine exclusion for associated Indicators, Groups, and Attributes, where objects with any of the selected Security Labels will be excluded. Selecting the Include radio button causes the Choose Security Labels dropdown menu to be used to select the Security Labels that will determine inclusion for associated Indicators, Groups, and Attributes, where objects with at least one of the selected Security Labels will be included.
15. By default, the Copy System-level Security Labels radio button at the bottom of the window will be selected, which will cause only System-level Security Labels that are assigned to associated objects to be copied. Clicking the Choose Security Labels to apply to copied data: radio button will cause three dropdown menus to be displayed (Figure 8).
