As a Blueprint administrator, there might be cases where you want a similar Instance Administrator Role as one that already exists with slight alterations.

In those cases, you can copy an existing Instance Administrator Role to create a new one and make modifications as needed.

To copy an Instance Administrator Role:

1. In the Administration Portal, click **User Management** and then select **Instance Administrator Roles** in the side panel.For information on how to access the Admin Portal, see [About the Administration Portal](docId\:aLbD8Z84lBz7JCfOAlGu5).
