```json
Settings have been successfully copied from SARA1 to ADAM1
```

#### **Important Information:**

- PM default settings will not be copied if the number of Project Management licenses has already been reached.
- When choosing "Replace" for company access, the existing department and job/project security groups will be deleted first.
- If the CompanyAccess setting is excluded from the request payload, the DepartmentAccess and JobAccess settings will be ignored, even if their values are set to "Add" or "Replace".
- If the CopyUserSecurity setting is set to "N" or omitted from the payload, all other security-related attributes (Roles, Privileges, Access settings,...) will be ignored, and only the UserDefaults setting will be applied.
