Possibility to export permission settings?

Permalink
It would be awesome to be able to export users, groups and permission settings. For example to be included in a starting points package.

So one do not have to redo all these settings later on. Would it be difficult?

You can do this easily already...is this what you mean?...

Install a fresh version of your boilerplate site, set all the users/permissions and in system settings -> backup your database, then download the correct backup file (found in site/files/backups).

Set up your new site, FTP the backup file into your backups folder and restore the backup into your new site.

You'll need to change the admin uPassword after restoring the site and to do that...as Mnkras explains here http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/reset-my-password-o...

in phpadmin...
UPDATE  `DBNAME`.`Users` SET  `uPassword` = MD5(  'pass:salt' ) WHERE  `Users`.`uID` =1;

replace DBNAME with the db name, pass with what you want your pass to be, and salt with the salt in the /config/site.php
