# Copy permissions from a parent forum

You can copy permissions from a parent forum to a child forum.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_communities.forum\_admin

**Important:**

Starting with the Brazil release, Communities is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer installed on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Community** > **Administration** > **Forums**.

2.  Click a forum.

3.  Click the **Copy Permissions from Parent Forum** related link.

    All permissions and content types are copied from the parent to the child forum. A summary of the results is displayed at the top of the form.


## What to do next

Configure the forum users and permissions as required.
