Edit accessrights.xml directly

In addition to configuring access rights through the Access Manager, you can also configure them by editing the accessrights.xml file directly.

1. Click the TEXTML Administration shortcut on the toolbar to open the TEXTML Administration perspective or take the following actions:
   1. Select Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other
   2. Click TEXTML Administration.
   3. Click Open.
2. In the TEXTML Administration view, double-click the server.
3. If your server is not in the view, add it by taking the following actions:
   1. To find the server name, click Window > Preferences and select IXIA CCMS.
      In the TEXTML Server Connection section, the server name is the Hostname.
   2. Copy the Hostname and close the Preferences window.
   3. In the TEXTML Administration view, right-click and select Add Server.
   4. In the Server field, enter the server name.
      The Port field fills automatically. If it does not and you need the port number, you can find it in the same place as the server name in the Preferences window.
   5. Click OK.
4. When the Connect as dialog opens, type your username and password and click OK.
5. Double-click the name of your Content Store to open a connection to it.
6. Expand the Content Store's Repository node and browse to /system/conf to locate the accessrights.xml file.
7. Right-click users.xml and select Check Out.
8. Open the file in an XML editor.
9. Locate the action you want to configure, which will be inside a <method> element.
   Ensure the method type is "front-end".

   <method name="Edit" type="front-end">

10. To set up conditions for the action, locate the <conditionset> element.

    <conditionset operator="any"> <condition> 

    Note: The <conditionset> operator is always "any", meaning that the access rights will apply for the selected action when any specified condition is true.
    1. Enter the document type inside the <type> element.
    2. Enter the applicable statuses for the document type inside the <statuses> element.
       In the example below, the action will apply to Project document types, of all statuses.

       <current> 
       <type name="project"> <statuses> <status>Project:*</status> </statuses> </type> 
       </current>

11. Inside the <users> element, use the <roles> and <groups> elements to set up users for the action, document type, and statuses:

    <users>
       <groups>
          <group name="Administrators"/>
       </groups>
       <roles>
          <role name="Project coordinator"/>
       </roles>
    </users>

    Note: The role and group names you enter must correspond precisely to those you configured previously.
12. Repeat from Step 9 to configure additional actions.
13. When you are finished, right-click accessrights.xml and select Check In.
14. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes are automatically applied 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, refresh IXIA CCMS Web so that users see the change reflected there.
