Assign a same Security Groups of User A to User B (User Security Customization)

If you got a request to assign the same security groups of user A to user B, you will check the security groups for user A and then add them one by one to the user B and this will consume your time and the human error happens especially if you have a big list of groups . 

I will show you how to customize the User Security Maintenance and add this feature and you will fulfill the request in seconds.

To add this feature I have applied the below:
- Add EpiUltraCombo in group tab.
- Use sample search to fill this drop down list.
- Use custom dialog serach to get the groups list of the selected user.
- Using the save tool in the toolbar to assign the group list to the current user.
- Clear the text of the EpiUltraCombo when a user clicks on clear tool.

Here it’s the code:

The code has been tested in Epicor 9.05.604 version.
