# Copy a group

You may find that you need to create a new group that's similar, but not identical to an existing group. If so, you don't need to start from scratch. Copy an existing group and edit it to fit your new requirements.

Note: You can only copy a group if:

- You have app create permissions for the account.
- You manage the group, or you are an account admin.

To copy a group:

1. Select the user menu on the global bar, then select **Profile**.
2. Within the Groups I'm in list, select the name of the group that you want to copy.
3. On the left side of the page, select **Copy This Group**. Quickbase returns you to the preferences page, and the new group appears in the list.

To copy a group (as a Billing Account Administrator):

1. [Access the Manage Billing Account page](/v1/docs/access-the-account-summary-page).
2. Select the **Groups** tab.
3. In the **Group Name** column, select the link for the group you want to copy.
4. On the left side of the screen, select **Copy this Group**.

Quickbase returns you to the Groups tab and the new group appears on the list.

To rename a copied group:

When you copy a group, Quickbase adds the prefix "CopyOf_" to the second part of the name of the new group. For example, a copy of **company.managers** group would be named **company.CopyOf_managers**.

1. Select the group name in the list.
2. On the group page, select **Edit Group Properties**.
3. Enter a new group name, and select **Save Changes**.
