Copy assets between projects

POST https://{controlplane_path}/api/1/rest/public/project/copy_assets

Overview

This API copies a list of assets from one or more projects to a single project. The source projects and the destination project can be within the same Environment/Org or in different Environments/Orgs.

Important:
If you are migrating or copying accounts or policies to a different environment (Org):
  • The source environment must recognize the destination as a trusted environment.
  • The destination environment must have at least the same security level as the source environment.
Learn how to add a trusted Environment/Org.

If the destination project does not exist, it will be created.

If an asset with the same name already exists in the destination project, the asset in the destination is overwritten.

A Task remains enabled when copied to the destination, only if the following conditions are met; otherwise, the Task is disabled.
  • Its associated pipeline is also copied in the same transaction.
  • The runtime path of the Task is also valid in the destination Project.
  • The Snaplex associated with the Task is defined in the Environment/Org's shared folder, the destination Project's shared folder, or the destination Project's folder.

Prerequisites

  • Read access to the source project
  • Write access to the destination project
