Set roles permitted to create a new version of specific, released item types
As a Tenant Administrator, you can specify which roles are allowed to create new versions of an item type. For example, you can configure this feature to allow only Lead Mechanical Designers to create a new version of a released Purchased Mechanical Part.
All other roles will not be permitted to perform any operations that result in a new version of the item-type being created. These restricted roles receive the following error message:
You are not allowed to create a new version of a released item type since you do not have the <permitted role 1>, <permitted role 2, etc. roles assigned. Please contact your Upchain administrator for assistance.
The following table describes the operations in Upchain that trigger this error message:
| Context | Description |
|---|---|
| Upchain | more actions > New version |
| Business processes > Change request | If the individual initializing the CR workflow does not have permission to create a new version of the released item, and the workflow has a primitive that creates a new version of the released item, then Upchain prompts the Permissions Denied error message. |
