};
```

### duplicateSection (with elevated permissions)

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { sections } from '@wix/restaurants';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { sections },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function duplicateSection(_id,options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.sections.duplicateSection(_id,options);
};
```
