Hi, I want to replicate the groups of a site to another, keeping the permitions and the users.

Does anybody know how to do it? (Both sites are in the same collection)

Hi Matias Ramirez‌,

Could you please share with us why you think this is Nintex related?

Cheers,

It's not directly related with Nintex, but it´s related with the program that supports Nintex.

Hi Matias,

I think there is no easy way to get what you want but it should still possible to achieve this.

Via "Call web service" action, you're able to call "SharePoint Permissions" web service :

Permissions.GetPermissionCollection Method (Permissions) 

In order to get permissions for a group on site A. 

Permissions.AddPermissionCollection Method (Permissions) 

In order to set permissions on site B. You will probably have to manipulate XML obtained by the first web service to give it to the second one.

Hope it helps happy.png

Hi Matias Ramirez‌,

If I were you, I would look into the tool 'Sharegate'. Yes, it is not free, but building your own is also expensive and this is much more generic so you could use it for other situations too. It really has powerful features.

Cheers,

Rick
