When you add users to an existing business unit, there are some additional
options that appear to assist you with transferring the user's personal
configurations and asset groups to their new business unit.
If the business unit does not already have a primary contact
then you'll see this option. Select one of the users being
added to the business unit to be the primary contact. If the
selected user is not already a Unit Manager, then the user
will be promoted to a Unit Manager role automatically.
You'll be prompted to choose whether you want to allow the
user to keep their configurations and asset groups.
1) Personal configurations - If you do not move a user's
personal configurations, they will be deleted. Personal configurations
include report templates, option profiles, scheduled scans,
scheduled reports and search lists. If you transfer the user's
configurations without also moving their asset groups, then
report templates, scheduled scans and scheduled reports may
need to be modified to reference a new target.
2) Asset Groups - You may allow users to continue to have
access to the asset groups from their old business unit.
Asset groups created by Managers will be added to the new
business unit without change. The Manager will continue to
own the asset group.
Asset groups created by Unit Managers will be copied to
the new business unit and renamed. The asset group name for
the copied version will be appended with a number. For example,
a group called "California" will be renamed "California
1" in the user's new business unit and stay "California"
in the user's old business unit. The asset group "California
1" will be owned by the primary contact for the subscription.
Personal asset groups will be added to the user's new business
unit without change, and the user will continue to own them.
You can assign asset groups to newly added Scanners and
Readers. Simply select the asset groups you want to assign
to the users from the Available Asset Groups list. (Tip: You
can wait and assign asset groups to users later. Edit each
user's account individually from the user accounts list to
assign asset groups.)
