Copying a Permission Role allows you to use an existing Role as a template in order to create a new Role from. This is ideal when you have a Role that have very similar permissions to the new Role you require, but there may be one or two changes needed.
For example, you have a Staff Role, and you take on a new Staff member that you want to give access to - but you don't want them to yet have the ability to delete users, or perhaps send text messages, etc
