Hi we want to Copy the Master Data Location properties (Adress, Company, Country etc.) from one User to another User. Personal Data like Name, Mailadress, Groups should be not copied. So if a User will switch to another Location, he should get all things from there. Would be good, if it's possible to choose the Source User from a Search and also the Target User.

We have a copy and paste Script (PS) Button from here for Groups, that works like a charm and I hope someone can give us something similar just for properties.

Thank you in advance Marcus

Hello,

To achieve the required, you can create a custom command with the Directory object picker parameter. The parameter will be used to select the user to copy the property values from. Then add the Run a program or PowerShell script action executing the below script. The script will copy property values from the user specified in the command parameter to the user on which the command is executed. In the script:

  • $paramName – Specifies the name of the parameter used to select the user to copy property values from. The variable value must start with the param- prefix.
  • $propertiesToCopy – Specifies the properties of the source user whose values will be copied.
$paramName = "param-CopyFrom" # TODO: modify me
$propertiesToCopy = @("streetAddress", "company", "c") # TODO: modify me

# Bind to the source user
$sourceUserDN = $Context.GetParameterValue($paramName)
$sourceUser = $Context.BindToObjectByDN($sourceUserDN)

# Update properties
foreach($propertyName in $propertiesToCopy)
{
    try
    {
        $propertyValue = $sourceUser.Get($propertyName)
    }
    catch
    {
        continue
    }

    $Context.TargetObject.Put($propertyName, $propertyValue)
}

# Save changes
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()

Then you can create a Web interface action executing the custom command. For details on how to create Web interface actions, have a look at this tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/help/ConfigureActionsPane.

Thank you very much, looks good but so it will copy the parameters to my own User, or? I want to choose also the Target User. For Groups we have a Copy User action and a Paste User Action inside helpdesk, for both we can select ( pick up) a User.

Hello,

The property values will be copied to the user on which the custom command is executed. You can create a Web interface action to copy property values. In this case, you will need to select the user on which the command will be executed first, and then the user to copy property values from.
