What’s New in Iptor IP1 V13?

General

Functionality Description
User role management Role Based Access Control system (RBAC) is introduced from IP1 V12, whereby users are granted access to certain IP1 application functions based on the role they are assigned to. Multiple roles can be setup, and users must be actively assigned to roles to have access. For example a user who reviews and approves/rejects pending orders will be assigned to a pending role that is setup with the required definitions and rules. A role can be created with multiple functions, and each role can be assigned to multiple users. The following modules have been changed for Role based access:

  • Pending – department has been replaced by role
  • User Access – department has been replaced by role
  • Book Production – user group has been replaced by role
