# CategoryCopy

Allows you to copy a category, and to specify a new name and position in the category hierarchy for the copy.

Note: This is an administrative action that can be sent only from AdminClients (which are set in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file).

Note: A category cannot have the same name as another category with the same immediate parent category.

## Example

    http://12.3.4.56:9000/action=CategoryCopy&Category=123456789012345&Name=BotanicsCopy

This action uses port `9000` to instruct IDOL Category Component, which is located on a machine with the IP address `12.3.4.56`, to copy the category with the ID `123456789012345`. The new category is called `BotanicsCopy` and has the same parent as the category it was copied from.
