The Role Manager window

The Role Manager window is a GUI that simplifies managing access rights for roles and users. The changes you make here automatically save to the accessright.xml file, so you do not have to directly edit it.

The Role Manager window has several panes. As you select roles in the Roles pane, the Document type pane updates. If you select a document type, the Time Lines pane updates.

Table 1. Panes in Role Manager
Pane Description
Roles A list of all the roles in IXIA CCMS Desktop and IXIA CCMS Web.
Document type A list of all the objects that can be assigned to users with that role.
Time Lines A list of time lines that describe the level of involvement from users with the selected role for each status when the object is assigned.

For each time line you can configure the statuses for an object, where the object will have this time line for a user with the selected role.

For example, for a Reviewer role, you can have the time line Active for Collaborative Reviews when they are in the Open status.

Status A list of statuses for objects.

Each check mark configures the statuses where the object has the state selected in the Time Lines pane for assigned users with the selected role.
