Let’s take a closer look at the new and exciting Permission feature added to CKBox with the latest release.
NEW Permissions
Previously Workspaces were introduced to divide users and user groups to separate data spaces with individual category and file extension settings. While this provided the first line of control over user access and was especially useful for separating tenants in multi-tenant applications, it did not cover for more complex needs and was only available for superadmin role.
With the introduction of Permissions in version 2.5.0, both admins and superadmins can now manage and control user access and actions much more precisely.
Permissions enable you to create user groups (i.e read-only, marketing, designers) and control their access to different categories and actions over specific folders and assets. There is a control option for each action and the following are the actions you can control:
- Creating, deleting, or modifying an asset or its metadata
- Creating, deleting folders and modifying their metadata
Permissions allow granular control over user access and actions, catering to complex and custom structures that may already exist in the day-to-day workflows and asset management needs.
For detailed information about the feature structure and settings you can visit CKBox documentation.
Other updates
- Workspaces performance has been improved with optimization in data fetching
- Dependencies have been updated
