Update 700 12 December 2020	We recently undertook development work to make the VIEW permissions of user details more configurable, to meet the growing granularity with which clients want to control access. We have now deployed equivalent development to the EDIT permissions. The large, coloured numbers in the table below are the new permissions, and the colours indicate the former equivalent permissions. 068, 069 and 405 have been split into 17 new permissions (407-423). We have altered all existing permissions allocations to groups and individuals so that everyone who had the old permissions has now obtained all the new ones. Ie, everyone who had 069 for a particular department has obtained 411, 412, 413, 414, 416, 420 for that department. So, in the majority of cases, if you take no action there will be no change. EXCEPT..... we have straightened out some anomalies in permissions relating to viewing and editing custom fields and users' HOPS Account data. This may have introduced some non-backwards-sympathetic changes, ie, users who could previously edit a custom field or HOPS Account field might now not be able to. If this occurs, please either consult the table to see the new permission number required, or contact us if you have any problems. The number of grey tabs on a user's profile has been reduced by one, with the removal of the tab with the client company's initials. The information on this tab has been moved to the 'General' tab where it relates to the user at the organisation and the 'HOPS Account' tab where it relates to the user's HOPS Account. We will, next, tackle the permissions for users editing their own details. Please let us know if you find any problems.
Update 691 18 November 2020	The permissions for viewing user details have been separated out in order to facilitate more granular control over viewing different elements of a user's personal details. Permission 091, to view user contact details on (and from) the railway staff list has been replaced with new permissions: 379 - view photos (existing) 404 - view postal address 398 - view email addresses 153 - view telephone numbers 399 - view DOBs Everyone and every group who had 091 has been automatically allocated the new permissions that directly replace 091 so no action = no change. Permission 090 (per department), to view user contact details on (and from) the department staff list has been replaced with new permissions: 378 - view photos (existing) 403 - view postal addresses 400 - view email addresses 154 - view telephone numbers 401 - view DOBs In both cases, 405 - view HOPS User Account Details. Everyone and every group who had 090 has been automatically allocated the new permissions that directly replace 090 so no action = no change. The permissions for editing details will be separated out in future. Also, the organisation staff list permissions no longer apply to the department staff lists. It used to be the case that if you had 'view contact details' for the org staff list, it automatically showed it all to you on all the dept staff lists as well. This no longer applies and the specific permissions for the department(s) are required. Everyone who used to have permissions for the org staff list now has the new equivalent permissions for 'all' depts so no action = no change.
Update 405 27 October 2016	ROSTER SETTINGS This is a FINAL CALL for HOPS Admins to allocate new permission 246 to those users who require to access and configure the Roster Settings page (currently accessed via permission 94). The system will be updated to require this new permission imminently. (Previously advertised on 18 Oct.)
