CCMS Administration Guide for Dedicated SaaS Deployments
A comprehensive guide to the administrative features and functions for the IXIA CCMS, specific to dedicated SaaS deployments.
- Introduction
- Get started
  This section contains general information about the IXIA CCMS configuration.
- Customize the CCMS Desktop interface
- Configuring IXIA CCMS Web
  Although you can perform some basic administration functions in IXIA CCMS Web using the Administration page, you must configure some features of CCMS Web elsewhere.
- Customizing DITA functionality
  You can customize Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) functionality within IXIA CCMS.
- Role, group, user, and access right management
  This section contains information and instructions for the configuration of roles, groups, users, and access rights.
  - About document cycles
    IXIA CCMS has a formalized document cycle that ensures that document development stays on track as topics, maps, and images are passed back and forth among the various users.
  - User roles and timelines
    Administrators configure roles and timelines to help the documentation team members manage the documentation cycle.
  - Groups and related users
    You can categorize users involved directly or peripherally with the documentation development process into groups, so that you can manage the users in the group as a unit.
  - Location-based groups
    The location-based groups feature is a grouping capability with a provision to define locations within the groups. Adding locations to the groups allows users to gain access to various IXIA CCMS features according to their location.
  - About access rights
    You can determine which features users have access to by defining access rights.
  - Role priority
    When users have multiple roles, role priority can determine how new objects that they create are assigned to them in IXIA CCMS Web.
  - Managing roles and time lines
    - Open the Role Manager window
      Use the Role Manager window as the starting point for most role management tasks.
    - 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.
    - Default roles and configurations
      You can modify any or all of the default roles and related configurations in IXIA CCMS.
    - Create a role
      You create roles for the members of the documentation development team so that you can assign them document types and time lines.
    - Associate a role with its document types
      Once you create a role, the next step is to associate a role with its document types.
    - Associate a role with its time lines
      Once you have associated roles with document types, you can also associate a role with its time lines.
    - Configure roles by direct edit
      In addition to configuring roles through the Role Manager, you can also configure roles by editing the roles.xml file directly.
    - Managing existing roles and timelines
      This set of topics provides procedures for managing roles and timelines, once configured.
      - Add a new time line to a document type
        You can assign a new time line to a document type.
      - Delete a role
        You can remove a role, along with its associated document types and respective time lines.
      - Dissociate a document type from a role
        As your work process matures, you may need to dissociate a document type from a role.
