FeatureRequest Clone Roles

[moreamazingnick]

It would be nice to be able to clone existing roles.
Sometimes they are very similar but not suitable for inheritance.

Hi Nicolas,

since you've brought inheritance by yourself on the table, may I ask what exactly makes a role not suitable for this?

Maybe I can answer from our perspective?

My alerting and also the roles are mostly team based and some times application/service based.

I utilize inheritance for basic common settings and for department settings and it would help to be able to clone a role of a team from the same department as it would also have the right inheritances and I would only have to change the users, groups and a couple of filters.

Currently I have to add a new role, add the users and groups, inheritances. And then, I have to jump around between the new and an existing role to copy paste and edit the filters. IMHO, the last part would be improved by cloning.

I see, thanks. Indeed, there are things that inheriting roles cannot influence, namely permission denials and restrictions.
