Enable image cloning

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

1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
2. Expand the Content Store's Repository node and browse to /system/conf to locate the accessrights.xml file.
3. Right-click accessrights.xml and select Check Out from the menu.
4. Open the file in an XML editor.
5. 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 users with an Author or Information Architect role can clone topics 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>
      ...

6. 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>

7. In the <statuses> element, specify each cycle status that allows image cloning.
   For example, the code above specifies that users can clone images with any Authoring cycle (Authoring:*) status.

   Note: Each status must match a status available in your workflow.
8. 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 users with an Author or Information Architect role.

   Note: These roles must match roles already configured in your deployment.
9. Save, close, and check in the accessrights.xml file.
   Image cloning is enabled.
10. 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 IXIA CCMS > Synchronize Configuration. Additionally, refresh IXIA CCMS Web so that users will see the change reflected there.
