There may be cases where you want a similar Project Group as one that already exists with slight alterations.

In those cases, a project administrator with the corresponding privileges can copy an existing Project Group to create a new one and make modifications as needed.

:::hint{type="info"}
To copy Project Groups in the Project Administration Portal, users must have either

a) the "Manage Groups, Project Roles, and Project Role Assignments" privilege in their Project Administrator Role, or

b) the "Administer All Projects" privilege in their Instance Administrator Role.

For more information on Project Administrator Roles, see [Manage Project Administrator Roles](docId\:Eq1A2DjVyMUzu7aa-nfnw). For more information on Instance Administrator Roles, see [Manage Instance Administrator Roles](docId:5GLYXa_hFmjWoam6L6nwK).
