17.10 Stable Release (October 2017)

9 views 0

Overview

The 17.10 release was released 2017-11-04. Some highlights of the release are:

  • Authorization management. This feature makes it possible to create, edit and delete user roles. When a user is created, he is given a role. The role has a set of permissions assigned to it. Each permission allows access to specific part of the system and additionally, that access can be read-only or full access. Based on permissions of a role that is given to the user, it is determined if the user is authorized when he initiates some action.
    In addition to permissions, roles also have a type which can be: Administrator, Reseller or Customer. Type is used to determine what is the available range of permissions for the role, where Administrator has the biggest range of permissions and Customer the smallest.
  • Atomia Automation Server performance improvements. After monitoring of Atomia Automation Server and determining what are the most used functions and their execution times, steps were taken to increase performance. Priority was given to most used functions with biggest execution times, as it would have the biggest effect on performance increase.
  • Multi-language support for customer messages. When in need to notify customers with some relevant info, there is a way. In Atomia Admin Panel it is possible to add a new message for the customers. The message can be added to be shown to all customers, but also it set so that only customers with particular products see it.
    Additionally, each message can have subject and content specified in multiple languages. All that it’s needed for a language to be available as one of message languages is to be enabled generally in the system.
    Further, the message has four different types and those are information, confirmation, warning, and error. Message type has an effect on how the message is displayed.
    Once a message has been added, it will be shown to each suitable user when he logs in to Atomia Control Panel, on the Dashboard page. He has an option to mark the message as read, so it’s now shown next time he logs in.
  • Openprovider SSL module.  We have added a new integration for SSL certificates via Openprovider. If you are an Openprovider reseller, you can start selling various SSL certificates that Openprovider has in their offer.
