New & Refreshed User Roles

The user roles in the have been updated (within the User Details page, per user and on the Add Users page) to the following:

• (New!) Member – An end user with no access (this role is newly listed but was previously applied when the "Administrator for this account" setting was disabled).
• Manager – A user with access and selected permissions and specific groups. If no groups are selected, the manager can manage the selected permissions for all users in the account.
• Admin – A manager with all permissions except to manage other admins.
• Super Admin – An admin with all permissions, including managing other admins (this role has been renamed, and previously applied when the "Full access to all account privileges" setting was enabled).

All permissions available for the Manager role remain unchanged (e.g., Add and Delete Users, Manage Products, etc.).

Support for Multiple Subgroups and Assignments

The user groups in the now support assigning multiple subgroup levels (e.g., Group > Subgroup 1, Subgroup 2, Subgroup 3, etc.), and those subgroups can be assigned to either another subgroup or a parent group (e.g., Subgroup 3 can be assigned to Subgroup 2, Subgroup 1, or Group). Additionally, a tooltip will display the full list of group/subgroup(s) on both the User Details and Manage Users pages if the name of the group/subgroup exceeds the character limit.

Note: Each parent group and/or subgroup name must be unique.

Previously, only a single subgroup could be created (e.g., Group > Subgroup), and each subgroup could only be assigned to a parent group (i.e., subgroups could not be assigned to other subgroups).

If a user – who is already assigned to groups/subgroup(s) – has their user group assignment changed within User Details, the user will become unassigned from all existing groups/subgroup(s) and only assigned to the updated group/subgroup(s).

The pkg installer now supports repair and update flows during installation.
