Rinze Cats	Monday 18 October 2004 2:10:28 am I have a set of users and roles that I need to use for a number of sites. Is there a way to copy them from one site(database) by using an sql export and import them into another? thanx rinze

Marco Zinn	Monday 18 October 2004 1:25:29 pm I guess, you could export roles and permissions by dumping the SQL tables for these things. But that's a pain. IF you do this, you should dump and import ALL roles and permissions, overwriting your "old" roles/permissions on the "slave" systems. This may be an option, if you can live with completly identical roles&permissions in all installations. Proceed with extreme caution, when handling users, roles and permissions. You may "lock out" your users faster than you can says "ooops"!!!! Do backups! Do backups! Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
