Cloning one group to another group

Does anyone have any experience with cloning one group to another group?  We qualified one group with the configuration set to use biopharm settings as the "gold standard" and would like to use that "gold standard" group to create additional groups for other departments.  Any changes would follow a change control procedure and testing would be performed in the "gold standard" and then manually migrated to the other groups.  We have been told there is no way to do that except for Adobe personell to perform this in the backgroud.  This is not a viable long term solution.  Looking for others that have the same issue and possible solutions.  Thank you.
