    • A role on the User Roles screen will be overwritten if you import a role with the same name.
    • Importing roles can only be done between servers that have the same version.
    • A role imported from another OfficeScan server:
      • Retains the permissions for menu items for servers/clients and menu items for managed domains.
      • Applies the default permissions for client management menu items. On the other server, record the role’s permissions for client management menu items and then re-apply them to the role that was imported.
