If I am thinking right this morning, the user layouts will stay with the user profile until such time as that profile is deleted. Im unsure if you could retrieve the layout files from a system folder, but I don’t think so?.
As far as transference of the layout from one user to another; all you need to do is a ‘Save As’ for the layout and select the applicable user in the ‘Available to’ drop down.
You can export and import layouts to a centralised folder, on you network.
I have used this approach in the past because due to the sometimes flaky nature of primavera, it was required to reset someone’s entire profile and therefore you lost all of your profile settings and defaults, the user could then simply import those layouts back onto their profile.
This method makes for standardisation across a group of planners as well, because you can change the layout, export it to the folder and everyone can upload it again.

Hi KD,
1.User Layout will be deleted if that user is deleted.So before deleting user one should save all his data and then can copy to new user.
2.Yes with admin superuser rights in P6 one can copy data from a user to another user.
Hope this will help

Hope what I wrote helps and was correct
