# Export system settings

Unisphere allows an authorized user with appropriate access to manage system settings. Settings can also be cloned, that is, settings can be copied from one array and applied to one or more target arrays subject to compatibility checks.

## Prerequisites

Only a user with Storage Administrator or Administrator permission can export system settings. See Roles and associated permissions to determine the user roles that can perform this task.
