How to clone existing policies in ADSelfService Plus?

Solution:

ADSelfService Plus allows you to configure multiple self-service policies based on users' domains, OUs, and group memberships, and lets you decide which sets of users will have access to what self-service features. You can even clone an existing policy to save time.

Consider a scenario in which you have to create different policies with only minor differences between them for different departments or sets of users. Instead of creating policies from scratch every time, you can just copy an existing policy, make the desired changes, and save it.

5. Select the required self-service actions to the new policy.
6. Select OUs/Groups and assign the new policy to the required OU(s), Group(s) or Domain.
