POST Security Roles ID Copy

The POST /Security/Roles{id}/Copy method is used to copy an existing security role in Keyfactor Command to create a new security role. This method returns HTTP 200 OK on a success with the details of the new security role.

Tip:  The following permissions (see Security Roles and Claims) are required to use this feature:

/security/modify/

The user must hold a role containing this permission in the Global Permission Set (see Permission Sets).

Important:  This has been deprecated since it supports Active Directory identities only. It is retained for backwards compatibility, but all new development should use methods that provide support for alternate identity providers and the newer claims-based authentication model that accompanies this. These newer methods support both Active Directory and other identity providers. There is not an equivalent function to this among the newer methods. Instead, use the v2 versions of GET /Security/Roles/{id} and POST /Security/Roles (see GET Security Roles ID and POST Security Roles).
