# Copy an existing user and creating them a WorkSpace
If you want to create a new user in Active Directory which is copied from an existing user (which will also copy all their AD groups) and create a WorkSpace for them at the same time, firstly search for the user that you want to copy in ‘Users’.
Then select the copy button next to the user you want to use as a copy template. You can see at this point; this user has a WorkSpace and you can perform various actions. In this case, click Copy WorkSpace button.
You will then see a screen to enter the information for the new user, choose the running mode, and select encryption for the WorkSpace. Once completed, click 'Save.' The task will be added to the Task Queue, which you can view from the menu. Once the task is complete, it will disappear from the list. If selected, the user will also receive an email notification confirming that their WorkSpace has been set up.

Nuvens always recommend encrypting both volumes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.nuvens.cloud/admin/appendices/how-do-i-create-a-workspace-for-a-user/copy-an-existing-user-and-creating-them-a-workspace.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
