Introducing our latest update: Automations: Enhanced Permissions for Cross-Solution Automations. This new feature refines access controls in Automations, ensuring that Solution Managers interact only with the Solutions and Tables they’re authorized to work with. As a result, actions like Create, Update, and Find now reflect your permissions accurately.
‍

Key highlights

  • Filtered Options: When setting up an automation, you’ll only see the Solutions and Tables your account has the proper permissions to access.
  • Read-Only Safeguards: If you lack the required permissions, the automation becomes read-only, preventing any unintended changes.
  • Clear User Feedback: A tooltip explains when modifications aren’t allowed, complete with a Learn More link for additional guidance.
  • Administrators Stay in Control: Admins always retain the complete ability to add, update, enable/disable, and delete any automation regardless of permission changes.
    ‍

How it works

  • In automation configuration, the dropdown lists for selecting a Solution or Table automatically filter out options you aren’t authorized to manage.
  • If you try to work with an automation where you no longer hold the necessary Solution Manager permissions, editing options will be disabled and accompanied by a helpful tooltip.
  • This approach prevents unauthorized actions and eliminates errors such as 403 Forbidden issues during automation saves.
