Viya - Cloning User Groups

[djfoot1]

Hi all

For those of you frustrated by the fact that you have to add a user to groups in Viya EvM by going into each group, adding that user, going to the next group, adding them again, etc, etc (for as many groups as you need to add them to), then I have a solution for you. I was supporting a client who had users belonging to 70+ groups. When a new user needed setting up, it would take them the best part of an hour to replicate the groups to that new user. I therefore wrote something using JES to allow them to clone the groups from one user to another. I'll be honest, it was very quick and very dirty, but does the job. I'm sure many of you could make suggestions and improvements to this. Further details are in Viya_JES/JES_CloneGroups_generic at main · djfoot/Viya_JES

Feel free to comment here (preferably, so that other user's can share in the insights) or on github.
