This time, we're doing a Friday update due to our upcoming Easter holidays.

This sprint, we wrapped up the rework of roles that was a long time coming! Admins should have an easier time managing access across different units. Here are all the updates from this week:

• Roles rework.
  • Extensive changes to the role system in Create. Read here for more details.
• Fixed an issue where inserting bindings in the Binding editor affected spacing around the binding.
• Captures view in user site improved.
• Notification style update.
• Bug fixes:
  • Updating folder name no longer affects RecipeReference form fields pointing to the folder.

Today, we released an update to permissions and roles in Create. We expect the update to improve manual and automated access management across units and organizations. Read on for more details!

Previous state

Until now, roles could only be granted on an organization level (Organization admin, Organization contents admin, User, None), and they could only be granted on claim-based criteria.

Changes

Roles now refer to sets of permissions on all content, and the permissions making up roles can be granted on a unit level. In other words, a single role encompasses different unit permissions. Roles can now also be granted manually or by using rules based on claims.

Additionally, the following naming changes are applied:

• User → View.
• Contents admin → Edit.
• Admin → Manage.

The renaming reflects the change of these functions from roles to permissions. The functionality remains the same.

With this update, roles granted by rules are now displayed on the organization and unit Members pages, which previously only displayed manually granted rights.

Update

However, to fully benefit from the update, old roles need to be updated to be reflected on the Members page, which is done by simply opening each role and selecting Update.

If the roles are not updated in this way, each member’s permissions will be updated as they log into Create.

This sprint, we focused on longer features that will be released in the coming weeks. Here's what was released in the past two weeks:

• Paragraph symbol visibility can now be toggled in the Recipe Editor.
  • This allows for more precise selections.
• Tags on recipes are now visible in the Content Sources view of the admin site.
• Standardized the look of Select and RecipeReference form components.
• Added API Reference to documentation.
• Bugfixes:
  • Fixed an issue with searching for a document with parentheses in the name.
  • Fixed an issue with dynamic file name configuration in duplicated recipes.
  • Fixed a scaling issue in the add-in with free selection in RecipeReference form fields.
  • Fixed an issue with names of binding property checkboxes.

The past two weeks, we've been focusing on improving the admin and user experiences, as well as preparing for bigger features that are coming soon. Here's what was released:

• Dynamic filename can now be set from a recipe.
  • In Recipe settings > Dynamic filename.
  • The filename can only be based on selections from recipe reference form fields for now.
• Unit settings added to backup-restore.
  • User Identity Form included now as well.
• UX fixes:
  • External form field groups.
    • The group label shows the source recipe name instead of ID now.
    • The highlight color has been removed.
  • Checkbox interaction area adjusted.

This sprint was all about features and functionality! Here's what's new:
