Currently, there is not a permission setting in modern nor classic that allows admins to restrict which user groups can clone records. We can restrict creating as a whole but we cannot say "these users can create but cannot clone existing items."
Thanks for filing this. I'm moving it to Under Review, as we have heard this feedback from other customers and we need to gather a bit more technical information before giving a definitive answer on how we are going to proceed.
There are always bugs that need to be corrected when users use the Clone feature. I it should always be created manually, instead of clone a existing one. As long as they have permission to do it, it will be happen.
Do you have any news about Permission for Item Clone, since it was put in status "Under Review" in 2019?
I have a customer meeting and if there is any news about it, it would be great if somthing new could be told to the customer or if a solution is comming.
Thanks for your request. @giliar.defriesperez set this ideas "Under Review". However, I never get any feedback, what is going on. Unfortunately, I can't tell you if Autodesk is still working on this or is it forgotten.
Apologies for the lack of follow up on this. The requested enhancement is not in the product roadmap for next 6-12 months. This means that Item Clone capability will continue to rely on "Add Items" permission, as it does today.
We continue to hear of use cases for this permission split for cloning and creating. There are many cases where users should be able to create new items but not clone, as they may need to know what information absolutely needs to be changed. Record cloning often needs to be restricted to a select few and might be completely unwanted in specific workspaces. Please consider bringing this permission update into your current backlog.
I can only agree with jayna vroman. There are always problems with the clone function. Instead of creating the Item, the clone function is used. There has been no information for more than a year. It would be great to know what is the progress and will it be on the roadmap in the next 12 months?
has there been any Progress here? permissions for Cloning is a must. we should be able to disable cloning for specific groups/roles this should be something that can easily be added.
