Create a user by cloning

Cloning a user allows you to quickly add users to your system, without having to repeatedly enter information that is common to multiple users, such as location and domain name.

To add a user to your system by cloning another user:

  1. Open the User Manager window.
  2. Click Lock (lock manager icon)
  3. In the Users list, expand the required location node to show its users.
  4. Right-click the user to clone and select Clone User.
    A duplicate user is created.
  5. Select the duplicate user and enter the new user's personal information.
  6. Modify other information, including roles and groups as required.
  7. Click Check In Document (check in manager icon).
    Your new user appears in the Users list, and users.xml is updated in the repository.
  8. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes will be applied automatically once users close and then reopen their . Users can also apply the changes without restarting their IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop by clicking DITA CMS > Synchronize Configuration.
