   Add To or Replace Existing Security identifies whether to add to or replace existing security settings for the user being copied to.

   • The copy will deal with ONLY the Access Granted Records; it doesn't revoke authority. So when you do the copy ADD, it will ensure all security records that were explicitly granted to the From user ID will be added to the To user ID.
   • If you want to revoke authority, then do the copy REPLACE, which will revoke all explicitly granted authority for the To user ID and then add back in those explicitly granted to the From user ID.
