Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/KelvinTegelaar/CIPP/issues/72

One element of system administration that always made my life easier was AD user templates. Having pre-defined permissions, group memberships, ADSI customizations, profile settings all pre-populated was awesome.

M365 user templates suck and are all but pointless. They don't do anything except save a few clicks (they save no brainpower).

With CIPP I can foresee an alternative to AD user templates with something like 'copy user settings from other user' dropdown box.

Get-AzureADUserMembership -ObjectId {source user object id}|foreach { Add-AzureADGroupMember -ObjectId $_.ObjectId -RefObjectId {new user object id} }

We've started work on this, at the start, this will just be a "Copy membership" button, but will evolve into full templating/creating specific user profiles.

Group copy available in Dev build. Adding more encompassing issue for next project to keep goals clear.
