In Sharepoint sometimes users have difficulties to grasp the permissions system.
You may have to change users membership quite a few times because ‘user X must have the same rights as User Y’.
If you have more thtan a couple of users, it can become quickly very boring.
The following snippet from the ‘lazy admin’ collection just does that: take a sharepoint group copy users to another group.
