It is possible to run multiple instances of Tomcat. When you run it within Netbeans, the instance you are running is not the instance in your $CATALINA_HOME. This is why when you made changes to the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml file nothing happened.
It just means that netbeans runs its own instance which will include its own configuration files.
