v15 new User Permissions

[rupertkiwi]

Hi there,

Does anyone have any information regarding the new User Permissions that are available in v15?

Configure Model Add-Ins
Configure External Data Sources
Visibility Level Admin

I can't seem to find anything in the help about them

Thanks,
Rupert

I can only make a (educated) guess

Configure Model Add-Ins
 - allows you to create model add-ins scripts. New feature in V15 that allows scripts to act a bit like add-ins.
Configure External Data Sources
 - External data sources are one of those cloud features. You can then connect them to systems such as Doors, or Jira to automatically exchange data
Visibility Level Admin
 - Another one of the cloud feature that uses row level security to limit the visibility of parts of the model to certain groups. Only supported on SQL Server or Oracle.

Configure Model Add-Ins
 - allows you to create model add-ins scripts. New feature in V15 that allows scripts to act a bit like add-ins.

Actually, anyone can create them. But they can't be used until someone with that permission enables them.

The one that is not documented is Configure Model Add-Ins, for which the (now added) description is:

'Allows users to enable and modify access to Add-In scripts according to the accessing user's membership of the defined security user group.'

The other two are documented in this topic:

https://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/team_support/permissionlist.html

which is for Release 15, but Configure External Data Sources has been there since June 2018 and Visibility Level Admin since July 2017.
