Project roles and Business roles can be defined to control permissions to individual Simplifier projects:

• Project roles are intended for design time
• Business roles are intended for the runtime

Both Project roles and Business roles can be assigned to individual users or user groups. When a project-based role is assigned to a group, all users in that group automatically receive that role.

Synchronize groups via Identity Provider

For an authentication method, in addition to user roles, user groups can now be synchronized.

Default groups can be defined, which are always assigned to external users logging in via the authentication method. Optionally, it is possible to activate the external group synchronization with certain rules. These rules can be used, for example, to check a user’s attribute in an Active Directory and then assign a Simplifier group.

Migration of standard roles as business roles

Simplifier roles can now be migrated to business roles in the project permissions overview.
The role migration dialog is available next to the button for creating a new business role.

Only permissions that can also be assigned in business roles are migrated. If the Simplifier role contains an admin characteristic for a permission, it will be converted to the respective permission for all artifacts of the type in the project.

Use of Business Roles in Push Notification Connector

In addition to roles and groups, push notification connectors can now be assigned business roles of the connector’s projects.

When running the connector, notifications are sent to all users, and to all users of the groups assigned to the business roles.
If a project is removed from the connector during the connector configuration, all business roles of the project are also removed from the connector.
