# Clone a permission

Clone a permission if an existing permission record cannot be modified and you require a permission record with similar settings.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_communities.forum\_admin

**Important:**

Starting with the Brazil release, Communities is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer installed on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Community** > **Administration** > **Permissions**.

2.  Click the permission you want to clone.

3.  Click the **Clone** related link.

    A new permission with the same access types as the source permission is created. The permission record name starts with **Clone of**.
