Selecting security, levels of approval, and notification options

Through the container and object properties, you can delegate responsibilities over the container through the security options, implement safeguards by designating multi-level approvers, and set the events to be notified on. If the Protected Settings option has been enable, you can also assign protected setting and set exclusions.

* 
NOTE:  
•
Configuring multi-level approvers will require that a change is approved by the designated number of approvers before it will become available for deployment in the live environment.
To set the security, approval level, and notification options on an object or container
1
Right-click the Version Control Root node, required container or object, and select Properties.
2
Select the appropriate option to configure the associated settings.
For more information on delegating roles see Configuring role-based delegation . For more information on configuring the notification system, see Selecting events on which to be notified .
* 
NOTE: If you are using the GPMC Extension, you can only set these options for GPOs.

Copying/pasting objects

Copying/pasting objects

You can easily copy and paste objects within the hierarchy. When you copy and paste an object within the version control system, you have the option to preserve the object’s history.

* 
NOTE: Multiple objects can be cut and pasted, but you can only copy and paste one object at a time.

You can choose the version of the object to copy. When a single object is pasted, you have the option to select the live version (if available), the working copy (if the object is currently checked out to you) or any of the historical versions of the object.

When you paste the object, it becomes a new object with a version of 0.0 in the checked out state. This version number indicates that the version is not considered "live" until it goes through the approval process. If you copy and paste the GPO with the history, it becomes a GPO that is shared with the original GPO.

* 
NOTE: If you copy and paste an object that is checked out, changes to the working copy will not be pasted. Only the history, up to the last checked out version, can be pasted.

When you drag and drop an object between containers on the same service, it will invoke the "move" operation. If dragging and dropping between containers on different services, it will invoke the "copy" operation.

When you right-click and drag and drop, you will be presented with two options: "Copy here" and "Move here". When dragging between containers on the same service, a copy means copy and a move means move. However, when dragging and dropping between containers on different services, regardless of which option is selected, the copy operation will be invoked.

* 
NOTE: You cannot move objects between domains.
To copy and paste an object
* 
NOTE: You cannot copy and paste objects in the GPMC Extension.
1
Expand the Version Control Root node and the required container.
2
Right-click an object and select Copy.
3
Right-click the target container, and select Paste.
4
From the Export wizard, select the version that you want to test and click Next.
5
Select the target Version Control domain for the object and click Next.
If you choose to copy the history from the source, when you view the history on the pasted object, the actions are clearly marked as having been actions on the source.
If an object with the same name already exists in the target container you will have the following options: cancel the paste, edit the name, or continue using the duplicate name.
6
Select a migration table (if required) and click Next.
7
Click Finish.
* 
NOTE: If the Enable Unique Names option is selected, the copied object's name will be the same as the original with an auto-incremented numerical value appended. For example, Name (1), Name (2). etc.
