Copy user permissions to new profile

[Dan_Hanley]

Hi all,

I have a user who has a local profile that we want to be using a domain joined profile. The problem is his job role includes a lot of software/files and the new profile won't have permissions to all these things.

Is there any way to copy permissions from his existing local profile to his domain joined profile?

This script should do the trick.
This script assumes that the computer is set to create a mobile account on login.

#!/bin/sh
OLDUSER=""
NEWUSER=""

mv /Users/$OLDUSER /Users/$NEWUSER
chown -R $NEWUSER /Users/$NEWUSER

#Clean up the old mobile account
dscl localhost delete /Local/Default/Users/$OLDUSER

Hi a.stonham,

what about locations which are not part of the user profile?
