You can add new users to the IXIA CCMS and associate them with the
appropriate roles and groups.
Before you begin
Before adding new users, ensure all the role and groups you need to assign the user
to have already been configured.
About this task
Adding new users using User Manager alone does not grant access to users. They must
also be configured within your company's network, such as in Active Directory.
Adding users in User Manager simply ensures that they are available within the CCMS for the purposes of configuring access,
assignments, and other CCMS-specific functions.
Procedure
-
Open the User Manager window
-
Click the
Lock button.
-
In the Users panel, do one of the following:
- Right-click a location name and select New User
to add a new user for that location.
- Right-click anywhere within the panel and select New
User to add a new user without a location.
-
In the User Personal Information panel, complete the
fields as appropriate.
If you enter a location, a corresponding location is created in the
Users panel and your new user is added to it.
-
In the User Connection Information panel, complete the
fields as appropriate.
-
In the Roles panel, select each role the new user should
have.
-
In the Groups panel, select each group the new user
should be a member of.
To give a user access to the advanced features, make them a member of the
Advanced Users group. What is considered an advanced feature is
predetermined and is not configurable. See The Advanced Users group
for details.
To make a user a System Administrator, make them a member of the System
Administrator group. The rights that a System Administrator has are
configurable in the accessrights.xml file.
