Abstract
Systems and methods for editing configuration data may include, according to one implementation, receiving a request to edit existing configuration data associated with a Network Element (NE) operating in a network. The existing configuration data includes a plurality of data access groups, each data access group including one or more attributes that characterize functional aspects of the NE. The systems/methods also include defining a selected set of data access groups from the plurality of data access groups and receiving new configuration data for editing a portion of the existing configuration data, which includes a subset of data access groups from the selected set of data access groups. The systems/methods then replace the subset of data access groups with the new configuration data while preventing change to the existing configuration data associated with one or more data access groups excluded from the selected set of data access groups.
