Create an access right for the Search and Replace feature

If you need to limit access to the Search and Replace feature for maps, you must modify the access right.

By default, the action is available to all users. If you want to limit the roles or groups who can use the Search and Replace feature, you must modify the accessrights.xml configuration file.

The method applies to CCMS Web.
