You need a supervisor or another area to review your operation's information without being able to change it. Or you want only team leads to create clients, while sales reps edit only the ones already assigned to them. Until now that was not possible: whoever could edit could also create.
That just changed.
Every role sees and does only what it should. Permissions for each module are now assigned separately, so you can grant read-only access with no risk of changes and split actions according to each person's responsibilities.
Before. The edit permission included creating, and delete could only be separated in a few modules.
Now. In the Profiles module, every module of the platform has independent permissions:
Each button only appears if the user has that permission, and read-only users see no actions at all. If you also restrict the clients view, edit and delete apply only to the clients assigned to that user. The change applies to the web platform and the mobile app (version 5.9.4 or later).
Your existing profiles kept their access: anyone who could edit can still create.
