Users and Permissions Bite 2

The following is the changelog for an upcoming Developers' Console update, scheduled to release in the coming days.

Continued the overhaul of the Console's permissions system, bringing the relevant changes into the UI as well. This means:

• Organization (also known as Partner within the console) Owners can now directly add/edit the permissions of their organization members from the console, on a per-app basis. Currently, the supported roles are:
  • Member (Required) - Allows basic access to the App and its non-fincancial dashboards.
  • Release Tester (Coming soon) - Allows the user to upload versions to App test channels.
  • Release Manager - Allows the user to upload versions to all App channels, as well as edit the App's test channels.
  • Finance - Allows the user access to the App's financial dashboards.
  • Support for more specific/granular roles is now also supported. For specific requests, feel free to contact us

This release is the second part of the larger move towards overhauling the Developers' Console's approach to managing Permissions - giving better, more granular control over individual user permissions - while also striving to streamline the different ways developers interact with the Console as a whole.

February

• Allows App/organization owners to more easily define and control permissions for users working with them

This release is part of a larger move towards overhauling the Developers' Console's approach to managing Permissions - giving better, more granular control over individual user permissions - while also striving to streamline the different ways developers interact with the Console as a whole.
