I am setting up subscriptions for the “SharePoint Online Object Permissions” for each site/path that needs to be audited.
1.) Is there a way to essentially copy/paste a subscription so all I have to do is change the Object Path parameter and recipients?
2.) Is there a way to trigger the Run Now option for multiple subscriptions at once instead of clicking into each subscription, going to the History tab, and clicking the Run Now button?
Marc,
For your first question, there isn’t currently a way to copy/paste an existing subscription so you only have to update the object path and recipients — you’ll need to recreate each subscription manually. One tip to speed that up is to subscribe to the report from the Reports screen instead of waiting for the report to run first before subscribing. That gets you into the subscription settings faster.
Regarding your second question, there isn’t a built-in way to trigger the Run Now option for multiple subscriptions at the same time — you have to go into each subscription’s History tab and click Run Now individually. However, a workaround is to temporarily adjust the schedule on the subscription page (for example, change the next run time to the next hour) so the subscriptions execute sooner, then revert the schedule afterward.
Both of these are solid ideas, and I’d recommend posting them to our Ideas Portal so the product team can consider them:

Thank you for the quick reply.
Hi Marc,
For the copy task, you can use the API. Essentially, you need to create two lists and POST the desired subscriptions in a loop.
In theory, you can, but what the reason? I’m not sure it’s a good idea.
For subscriptions, there are options you can use via API (Early Access Feature):
https://localhost:9699/netwrix/api/v1/configuration/subscriptions
configuration/subscriptionsSubscriptionsList.xml/json).configuration/subscriptions/{id}SubscriptionsList.xml/json).configuration/subscriptions/{id}/recipientsSubscriptionRecipients.xml/json).configuration/subscriptions/{id}/filtersSubscriptionsList.xml/json).configuration/subscriptionsSubscriptionsList.xml/json or individual elements.
Added successfully / Already exists / Error).configuration/subscriptions/{id}configuration/subscriptions – Not supported.configuration/subscriptions/{id}Enabled, Name, Schedule, Filters, and type-specific tags).configuration/subscriptions/{id}/recipientsSubscriptionRecipients.xml/json).
configuration/subscriptions/{id}/filtersconfiguration/subscriptions – Not supported.configuration/subscriptions/{id}The reason that this would be helpful is to generate the initial set of audit reports per site/area all at once instead of having to click into each of them individually. It just saves a lot of clicking, especially given the number of times we have to run these reports because of all the specific areas that we have with different data owners.
Hi Marc, regarding the launch of multiple subscriptions — I definitely won’t be able to help with that, as it won’t be quite what you’re expecting. That sounds exactly like a feature request.
But copying via the API should at least reduce the time spent on copying subscriptions.
Thank you for the info on that, but I am just going to plow through creating them manually. Playing some Slayer through the headphones so it goes faster. 
@TheCat : Can you tell me where in the DB subscription info is stored?
Ah, it was only suggestion and I thought it was a good idea )
The database is intended only for storing data; the subscription configurations themselves are stored in a local configuration file in Programdata.
