On April 1, we’re introducing a new Standard User Permission Group and two distinct Usage Modes to PRISMA’s Permission Feature.

The Standard User Role:

We’ve merged the previous Refactored and Legacy Permission Groups into a single Standard User role. Users, currently assigned to either of these groups, will be automatically assigned to the Standard User group on April 1.

This new role is recommended for most users, enabling them to access all relevant platform features with ease.

New Usage Modes:

• Safe Mode simplifies permissions by relying on PRISMA’s Standard Groups—no Custom Groups allowed. The benefit? If you're not familiar with all permission use cases, Safe Mode helps you avoid conflicting permission scenarios and provides an easier way to manage access.
  

• Advanced Mode (Beta) offers greater flexibility by enabling you to customize Permission Groups. However, it requires a deeper understanding of such permissions. Users who are not familiar with all use cases may configure conflicting permissions for one or more groups, which could limit access to certain features. Advanced Mode is best suited for experienced users.

Please Note:

• Organisations with Custom Groups will be automatically migrated to Advanced Mode upon release.

• All other organizations will default to Safe Mode.

To help with the transition, we’ll be introducing these changes via an in-app tour.

Why Does PRISMA Recommend the Permissions in the Standard Groups?

We recently improved the Operator Assignment views, including the Assignment Overview and the Apply for a New Assignment page.

Now, approval and reactivation of user assignments are only possible if the organization assignment is in an "active" state.

Additionally, we’ve introduced a new Operator Detail page featuring:

• A new user table for admins for better management.

• The user assignment card now always displaying "My User Assignment" for improved clarity.
