New Access Right

Before this release, resource managers were automatically granted access to the Financial Properties subpage of the resources they managed. The automatic granting of a right is named an autoright. The Financially Enabled Roles feature replaced the autoright with an explicit access right that can be granted or revoked for any resource manager. This access right is named Resource – Edit Financial.

To maintain consistency with existing functionality, the upgrade to Release 13.1 replaces the autoright with an instance-level access Resource – Edit Financial access right. This access right is granted to all resource managers for the resources they manage. The upgrade also sets the new Financial option Grant Resource – Edit Financial instance right to resource manager to True. With the option set to True, resource managers are automatically granted the new access right.

Upgrade Actions: None, if you want to preserve existing functionality.

You can remove the new Resource – Edit Financial access right from resource managers (granted during upgrade) and can prevent future resource managers from receiving this right. To remove the right, run a special post-upgrade script that is provided with this release.

You can always manually grant or revoke the access right, regardless of the setting of the Financial option.
