Modifying a User Configuration

To modify the configuration for a user, follow these steps:

1. Click Security in the left tree menu. A list of security items appears.

2. Click Users.

3. Click the target user.

4. Perform any modifications needed to the user’s configuration. Modifications might include changing any of the user credentials (including password), adding or removing role assignments, adding or removing default permission settings, or adding or removing default collection settings.

   Warning: Making changes to the user configuration affects the access control policy for that user, which can either increase or decrease the activities authorized for the user. For more details on how the security system works, see Securing MarkLogic Server.

5. Click OK to save the changes.

The new changes are in effect for all transactions beginning after the user changes are committed.
