I have an account setup exactly the way I'd like a number of individuals accounts setup and I'd like to create them as clones of this account so the get the initial set of permissions without me having to manually set all the permission on each account.
Note: It is fine (ideal?) if once the accounts are created that they no longer have a relationship with the original account. For instance, if User A is the base account that is being used to create all the other accounts, once User B is made from User A then all further changes on User A will not be reflected on User B.
Any ideas?
In answer to your question: no, there is no clone/copy user feature in the User Editor in Sitecore.
It sounds like you would be better off creating a role with all these permissions, then assigning this role to any new users you create. You could then modify the permissions of the individual users as necessary.
Note this would not be the ideal solution as it's always better to apply security to roles rather than individual users.
Perhaps you could achieve what you need by creating a collection of roles and assigning different combinations of them to each user?
Try installing this Sitecore Module.This will clone the user in User Manager
SITECORE USER CLONE
Sitecore User Clone is used to create the copy of the user with the same roles, name, email, and profile. It will prompt to accept the new username, password and all the editable fields same like Edit user.

We've been using Azure DevOps but I'm wondering what the Organisation Owner does? Do they have extra permissions in Azure DevOps or is it just a 'for info' type field so people know who to speak with about any DevOps queries / change requests with the setup.
Thinking ours may need to change but just looking to see what the impact is in changing that - i.e. what permissions would the existing person lose (and what would a new person gain) if that was to change to someone else.
Generally, there aren't extra permissions for the owner account, so, just feel free to change owner. For the new owner, he has the admin permission.
On the other hand, you may just add the new user to Project Collection administrators group, then this new user will has admin permission too.
From the docs
An administrator or organization Owner can give you access to select
features or functions, or change your permissions. In this article,
learn how to look up administrators or organization Owners.
and here are the rights or things that organization owner can do.
Generally, as an organization Owner, you are the administrator of your DevOps service and you have super permission. You can manage your project, includes:
Add users to your project
Grant or restrict permissions
Share your project vision and support collaboration
Remove unused services from the user interface
Set code, test, and other policies
Define area and iteration paths for work tracking
Customize work-tracking processes
Review and update notifications
Add teams to scale your organization
Install and manage extensions
Set up billing

Say I make an organization, and set someone else to owner. Will they be able to remove me from that organization? Or are there special elevated perms for the "original" owner?
I'm not sure if StackOverflow is even the right place for this question, but I haven't been able to find anything about this online.
Yes, once you make a user owner of your organization, user gets all the permissions as you. So, user can remove you from organization.
Github can't recognize you as Original owner. There are only two possible roles, OWNER and MEMBER.
Depends what you want to do. If you want them to be able to add/remove other members without giving over full organisation access you try to add a team, add the repositories you want to that team with write access, then make the user a "maintainer" of the team which should allow them to add/remove users and therefore manage write access to particular repositories.

As GitHub user I can create an organization. But can I also create an organization account without creating a user?
The background is: I want to create an organization account for a company, but don't want to create a new fake user account, that then would create it. Is it possible to cerate an organistion (user) account without creating a "normal" user (account) before?
I'm part of a GitHub organization developing a FOSS project. I'd like to run CI tests on Windows using AppVeyor. Currently I see my own fork of the project, and some other forks from people who have named me collaborator in GitHub. I don't see the upstream of the project, though. Apparently me being an administrator of the GitHub organization isn't enough to offer access to it in AppVeyor. But probably setting this up under my account would be the wrong approach anyway. Probably this should be under the name of the organization.
Towards that end, I'd like to have an AppVeyor account for this organization, with suitable permissions for its members. Reading http://www.appveyor.com/docs/team-setup it sounds as if AppVeyor could distinguish between users (with unique email and password) and accounts (to which projects belong), and a single user apparently can belong to multiple accounts while one account can have multiple users with different roles. In that sense, I'd like to create a new account without creating a user for it. Instead I as an existing user, identified by GitHub login, would like to become the first administrator of this new account, and ready to change settings and add more users. How do I do this?
You can't create a new account without a user. Just use some your email/password to create an account, then add existing user as collaborator.
I have SugarCRM version 6.2 Community Edition with a custom module called Agents. Agents do not have User accounts. I want to allow Agents to log into the CRM instance. I understand to login we need User accounts.
But is it possible to allow Agents to log in without creating a User? How?
Or is possible to relate a User to an Agent so that when the User logs in he/she can view that Agent's details?
Why dont you just create a role for Agent and create users and assign to that Role . ( admin can create users and assign user to the Agent role)
At the end when you pull record from user table you can filter it based on role ( say agents) and use them in your custom module.
Anyway, For agents to login they will recieve auto-generated Email and password as and when admin creates them as Agents
