Modify user information

Changes to your system or to a user's job description might involve making changes to their user information.

A change to user information can impact any related assignments for that user.

Important: If you change a user's email address, assignments for that user may not be visible. Note the assignments related to that user and reassign all objects after your update to the email address for that user.
  1. In TEXTML Administration perspective, right-click the Content Store node and select CCMS Admin > Manage Users.
    The User Manager window opens.
    Note: MadCap Software recommends that you avoid directly editing the users.xml file. The User Manager window has built-in validation mechanisms to reduce errors.
  2. Click the Lock button (lock manager icon).
  3. In the Users list, expand the location node that contains the user whose information you want to change.
  4. Select the user you want to modify.
    All the user's information appears.
  5. Modify User Personal Information or User Connection Information or change the Role or Group assignments, as necessary.
    The roles and groups that you assign to a user determine the functionality this user can access.
    Note: Modifications to the Location field will move the user to another node in the Users list.
  6. Save your changes locally (CTRL+s).
  7. Click Check In Document (check in manager icon).
    Your changes to users.xml are updated in the repository.
  8. 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, have an administrator refresh IXIA CCMS Web so that users will see the change reflected there.
