Enabling image cloning

To allow users to clone images, you need to enable image cloning in the accessrights.xml file.

1. Open the TEXTML Administration perspective by clicking the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the tool bar. If the shortcut is not displayed, follow these steps:
   1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
   2. Click TEXTML Administration.
   3. Click Open.
2. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server. If your server is not displayed in the view, you must add it to the view.
3. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
4. Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
5. Expand the Content Store's Repository node and browse to /system/conf to locate the accessrights.xml file.
6. Right-click accessrights.xml and select Check Out from the menu.
7. Open the file in an XML editor.
8. Locate the Clone action, which is inside a <method> element.

   For example:

   <method name="Clone" type="front-end">

   By default, the Clone action contains permissions for cloning topics and maps. These permissions are defined in <condition> elements. For example, the following code shows that Authors and Information Architects can clone topics that are in the Authoring cycle:

   <conditionset operator="any">
      <condition>
      <!-- Object on which action is taken -->
         <current>
            <type name="topic">
               <statuses>
                  <status>Authoring:*</status>
               </statuses>
            </type>
         </current>
         <!-- Action user must be in this list -->
         <users>
             <roles>
                <role name="Information Architect"/>
                <role name="Author"/>
             </roles>
         </users>
      </condition>
      ...

9. To enable image cloning, add a new <condition> element inside the <conditionset> element for Clone by copying the text below:

   <condition>
      <current>
         <type name="Image">
            <statuses>
               <status>Authoring:*</status>
            </statuses>
         </type>
      </current>
      <users>
         <roles>
            <role name="Author"/>
            <role name="Information Architect"/>
         </roles>
      </users>
   </condition>

10. In the <statuses> element, specify the statuses during which cloning images is allowed.
    For example, the code above specifies that images can be cloned in all statuses of the Authoring cycle (Authoring:*).

    Note: These statuses must match statuses available in your workflow.
11. In the <users>/<roles> element, specify the user roles that are allowed to clone images.
    For example, the code above specifies that images can be cloned by Authors and Information Architects.

    Note: These roles must match roles already configured in your deployment.
12. Save, close, and check in the accessrights.xml file.
13. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes will be applied automatically once users close and then reopen their CCMS Desktop. Users can also apply the changes without restarting their CCMS Desktop by clicking IXIASOFT CCMS > Synchronize Configuration. Additionally, have an administrator refresh IXIASOFT CCMS Web so that users will see the change reflected there.
