Edit an existing user in CCMS Web

You can edit existing users in IXIA CCMS Web.

Before you begin

Before editing users, ensure all the role and groups you need to assign the users to have already been configured.

About this task

Procedure

  1. From the Administration menu, click Administration > User Management.
  2. Click Edit.
    A message appears saying "users.xml has been checked out."
  3. Locate the user you want to edit.
  4. Edit the XML to make the necessary changes.
  5. Click Save.
    Note: If there are any errors in the file, they are highlighted in red. You must fix all errors before saving the users.xml file.
    A message appears saying: "users.xml has been saved and checked in."
  6. Inform users of the changes and ask them to close and reopen their CCMS Desktop to apply the changes. Additionally, have an administrator refresh IXIA CCMS Web so that users see the change reflected there.
