Export Feature Permission Settings to XML

You can export the feature permission settings you establish for a role to an XML file. This is similar to an export of a system role definition, but enables you to later import only feature settings rather than an entire role definition.

Importing feature settings can be useful if you are creating a new role that will have similar permissions as an existing role and want to import the settings as a starting point rather than specifying all the feature permission settings in the new role manually.

1. From a system role, select the Features tab.

2. Select Export to xml. The Save as screen appears.

3. Browse to the directory where you want to save the file and enter a name.

4. Select Save. To import these settings into another role, open the new role, select the Features tab, and select Assign feature permissions. Select Merge from xml file and browse to the file you saved during the feature permission export.
